"Work from home works for families, because it saves time and money and it gets more parents working. Victoria will launch legislation to give employees the legal right to work from home two days per week, with laws due to come into effect on September 1."
"The right to work from home will be enshrined in the state's Equal Opportunity Act. Laws will also include a mechanism for dispute resolution. Workplaces with fewer than 15 employees will be given until July 2027 to comply with the new requirements."
