Working from home: submission to Victorian Government
Submissions
Australian Industry Group appreciated the opportunity to make submissions to the Victorian Government in response to proposed laws to make working from home (WFH) a right, announced by the Premier on 2 August 2025 as follows:
The Allan Labor Government will make working from home a right – because it works for families.
Premier Jacinta Allan announced the Labor Government will introduce legislation to protect the ability of an employee to work from home.
Under this proposed law, if you can reasonably do your job from home, you will have the right to do so for at least two days a week – public sector or private sector.
Enshrining work from home in law means this life-changing practice isn’t something you or your loved ones have to politely ask for...It’s a right you’ll be entitled to.
