The Victorian government aims to introduce legal protections allowing employees to work from home at least two days a week. This initiative follows federal election debates on remote work that impacted the Coalition's campaign. Tanya Plibersek confirmed the federal government will not intervene, supporting practical arrangements negotiated between employees and employers. Some business leaders express concerns over the proposed legislation, arguing it would overreach and create unnecessary administrative burdens, as current policies already function effectively under employer discretion.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan unveiled her government's plan to introduce protections for employees who wish to work at least two days a week from home.
Working from home laws were a significant issue in the federal election, contributing to the Coalition's election loss due to opposition from Peter Dutton.
Employers, including the Committee for Melbourne, argue that introducing legal protections for working from home would create unnecessary red tape.
The federal government's Tanya Plibersek stated her support for working from home when practical but clarified it is a matter for Victoria to legislate.
