2025-2026 Changes to Workplace Laws & Regulations

Why is it important for employers to keep track of changes to workplace laws and regulations?

As an employer, it is important to proactively manage HR-related risks. This applies to any workplace regardless of the industry or jurisdiction.

Legislative changes can increase employers’ non-compliance risk. The penalties for non-compliance have never been higher, even if it’s an honest mistake.

How can employers avoid unnecessary risks and costly penalties?

When laws and regulations change, it’s crucial to protect your business from unnecessary risks and penalties by:

• tracking and managing your employer obligations

• reviewing your human resources (HR), industrial relations (IR), payroll and Work, Health and Safety (WHS) practices
