Work-from-home is back in the spotlight, with the Labor government signalling stronger support for flexible work arrangements. Join us this week as Andrew Douglas and Kim McLagan discuss what this actually means for employers.

Recent workplace law discussions give employees greater ability to request flexible work, including working from home, and require employers to genuinely consider those requests. While remote work became common during the pandemic, these changes could further entrench hybrid work as a long-term expectation across many workplaces.

For employers, this raises important questions. Will work-from-home become the norm? How should businesses respond to employee requests? And what are the legal and operational implications?

In this update, we take a closer look at Labor’s work-from-home approach, whether it’s likely to gain momentum, and what employers should be doing now to stay ahead.
