What You Must Prove When You Allege Industrial Collusion Between a Union and Others.

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.

Labor’s Work from Home What is it, will it Catch on and What Impact will it Have on Employers?

Join us this week as Andrew Douglas and Kim McLagan lead an engaging discussion on the topic “Who Are We at Work?” In this session, they’ll explore the balance between being respected and being liked in the workplace, and examine the potential risks that can come with personal disclosure in professional environments.

Andrew and Kim will help unpack how the way we present ourselves at work can influence relationships, perceptions, and professional boundaries.

We hope you can join us for what promises to be a thought-provoking conversation.

Who are We at Work? Respect or Liked and the Risks of Personal Disclosure

Andrew Douglas and Tom Daly explore one of the most pressing and complex challenges facing Australian workplaces today: overseas workers, racism, and safety.

As public debate continues to be shaped by anti-immigration rhetoric, it is critical for organisations to focus on the facts. Australia’s economy depends on both skilled and unskilled migrant labour. Beyond filling workforce gaps, overseas workers contribute to innovation, productivity, and cultural strength within our organisations.

Creating a safe and respectful workplace is not just a moral obligation — it is essential to operational stability, legal compliance, and long-term success. Organisations that fail to foster inclusive and culturally safe environments risk reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny, and workforce disengagement.

Join us for a clear, practical discussion on how employers can lead with integrity, strengthen culture, and ensure every worker — regardless of background — is treated with dignity and respect.
