This week, Jim Babalis and Tom Daly will be presenting on what Work from Home means for Victorian employers.

The Victorian Government has introduced proposed legislation that could significantly change workplace rights for employees working from home.

If passed, the Equal Opportunity Amendment (Work from Home) Bill 2026 will introduce a new statutory right for eligible Victorian employees to work from home, creating new obligations for employers and a new dispute resolution framework through VEOHRC and VCAT.

With the first commencement date set for 1 September 2026 (and 1 July 2027 for small businesses), now is the time for employers to understand what these proposed changes could mean for their business.

Whether you're an HR professional, business owner or manager, this vido provides a practical overview of the proposed reforms and the key issues employers should be watching.
