Workforce compliance in Australia is evolving. Are you keeping up?
Australia’s workforce compliance landscape is shifting, not through sweeping new legislation, but through landmark court rulings, stronger enforcement, and cultural expectations that demand more from employers.
This free workforce risk report for Q3 2025 reveals what’s really driving risk right now, and what forward-thinking organisations are doing to stay ahead.
What’s inside the Q3 2025 workforce risk report:
Redundancy obligations are now broader
A recent High Court ruling means contractor roles must be considered in redeployment decisions. Restructures just became more complex, and more exposed.
Record-breaking harassment payout sets new precedent
$305K awarded. Culture matters. This ruling proves that policies alone aren’t enough, active, ongoing prevention is critical.
Same Job, Same Pay reforms – no more loopholes
The BHP case makes it clear: structure doesn’t matter, substance does. Equal pay compliance is now unavoidable for many labour hire arrangements.
Flexible work rights under formal review
A push to include WFH clauses in awards could make remote work a legal right, reshaping how you manage equity, workloads and expectations.
Digital systems now under WHS scrutiny
Algorithms and rostering software are being treated as workplace risks. If you automate, you must prove it’s safe.
