WFH - The New Rules of Saying No 

The New Rules of Saying No 

Are You Ready?
Flexible Work Requests Have Always Been Tricky. Now Victoria Is About To Make Them A Legal Right.

From 1 September 2026, Victorian employees can work from home two days a week. Not as a request. As an entitlement. And most businesses aren't ready for it.

At The Same Time, Reasonable Adjustment Requests Are Being Knocked Back At A Rate That Should Worry Every Employer. Nearly Three Quarters Are Rejected — Even When They Cost The Business Nothing To Implement. That's Not A Policy Problem. That's A Discrimination Claim Waiting To Happen.

Two Different Laws. Two Very Different Risks. One Session That Unpacks Both.

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Victorian work from home rights have entered the chat. And there's a quiet shift most businesses haven't clocked yet.

Probably because it all sounds rather technical. But it's not.
All this means is that your employees in Victoria can work from home two days a week from September. Not if you feel like it. Not if they ask nicely. As a legal right. And if you refuse without good reason? That dispute doesn't go to Fair Work. It goes somewhere else entirely. Yikes.

The smart businesses? They're not waiting around to see how it plays out. They're getting on the front foot.

In this session, we're cutting through the confusion and talking about what's actually changing, what it means for your business in plain English, and what you should be doing right now before September hits.

Including which businesses are most at risk if they get this wrong..
What this all means for Victorian business...

A legal right to WFH that didn't exist last year.
Reasonable adjustment requests you can't just knock back.
A dispute pathway most HR teams have never dealt with.
And a whole lot more risk if you're not paying attention.

While everyone's busy with wage increases and payday super… these two are creeping up in the background.

Smart businesses aren't waiting. They're moving now.
