Summary
Victoria’s new work-from-home rules, set to launch September 1, let most employees request two remote days weekly—with employers needing to justify denial. But business groups are pushing back, demanding a March 2025 rollout instead, citing overwhelming policy overhaul costs and timing concerns amid rising unemployment. They also want a strict two-day cap, arguing the current proposal’s 21-day response window is too lenient. The government counters with projected $5,300 annual savings per worker, sparking a heated debate over how quickly—and how much—businesses can adapt.
