Description

This session is presented into the 2024 Employment Law Conference by Ms Katie Sweatman, Partner, Kingston Reid in Victoria. The session considers the following:

  • What is in the next wave of workplace reforms?
  • What will these workplace reforms look like in practice?
  • What do we anticipate will be some of the challenges for implementation?

The key takeaways include:

  • While aspects of the next wave of reforms such as the new right to disconnect have gained a lot of attention, other aspects of the reforms such as the new unfair contracts regime are likely to have a much greater impact on workers and the organisations that engage and employ them.
  • The Commission has gained a number of new jurisdictions which will largely be developed as they are being implemented.
  • The speed with which the legislation was drafted and the breadth of the new powers is expected to open a Pandora's Box of new challenges that practitioners will need to be ready to respond to.
