Australia’s workforce compliance landscape is changing. Are you ready?
Keeping up with Australia’s workforce compliance requirements has never been more complex.
From payroll changes and new flexible work obligations to AI governance, wage increases and evolving employment law, employers are managing multiple regulatory changes at once. While each update presents its own challenges, it’s the combined operational impact that creates the greatest workforce compliance risk.
Our latest Australia Workforce Risk Report | Q2 2026 helps HR, payroll, procurement and compliance leaders understand what’s changing, where the risks are emerging, and the practical steps organisations can take to prepare with confidence.
What’s inside the report?
The report provides expert analysis and practical guidance on the workforce compliance issues affecting Australian employers, including:
- Victoria’s proposed Work from Home Bill and what it could mean for workplace policies and employer obligations.
- Payday Super and the payroll system changes organisations should prepare for before implementation.
- The 2026 National Minimum Wage increase and how to minimise payroll and compliance risks.
- Updated NSW Long Service Leave guidance and the impact on payroll calculations and employee entitlements.
- AI in employment decisions, including emerging expectations around governance, transparency and Fair Work Commission processes.
Rather than simply summarising legislative updates, the report explains what these developments mean in practice, helping employers understand the operational impact and identify where action is needed to reduce workforce compliance risk.
