The Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes No. 2) Act 2024 (Cth) received Royal Assent on 26 February 2024. The Act amends the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and related legislation and is the final element of the Government’s controversial ‘third tranche’ of changes to workplace relations laws.
Many of the changes made by this Amendment Act had delayed commencement dates.
On 26 August 2024, several significant changes commence.
This includes the right to disconnect, casual employment changes, changes to the definitions of ‘employer’ and ‘employee’, a new regulated workers jurisdiction and the creation of a new Fair Work Commission unfair contracts disputes jurisdiction.
