Catalyst: A New Paradigm in AI Payroll Compliance25/26
19 November 2025 | In-Person | The View Hotel | Networking Lunch
If Coles and Woolies got it wrong, could you? Catalyst is the wake-up call businesses, payroll teams and execs can’t afford to miss.
Catalyst: A New Paradigm in Payroll Compliance
AI • Strategy • Proof
Payroll systems failed Coles and Woolworths — don’t let yours be next.
Join us in Sydney for Part 1 of the National Catalyst Roadshow, where we’ll unpack what went wrong, what’s changing, and how to future-proof your payroll systems before new compliance expectations take hold.
Overview
Most payroll systems were designed to process pay, not prove compliance.
The Coles and Woolworths decisions exposed a silent truth across Australian workplaces:
when compliance was tested, many systems simply couldn’t produce defensible records.
No audit trail meant no proof - and therefore no compliance.
Catalyst explores the next evolution of payroll:
how strategy, AI, and traceability are reshaping the way compliance is managed, evidenced, and protected.
Why Attend
This isn’t another payroll update session.
It’s a forward-thinking workshop designed for professionals who want to be ahead of the curve - where compliance intelligence, human-first AI, and system architecture intersect.
🧀 Inspired by “Who Moved My Cheese?” by Spencer Johnson - we’ll explore how to adapt to payroll’s shifting landscape, where change isn’t optional - it’s inevitable.
Seats are limited. Please book your ticket here:

We will be very happy to see you there!
