Big changes are coming to employment leave law. 
Now’s your chance to hear directly from the Minister leading the reform. 

As part of our Wednesday Matters webinar series, join us for a special session with Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety, Hon Brooke van Velden. 
The Minister will walk through the Employment Leave Bill, what it will mean in practice, and answer your questions live. 

Why attend?
 
• Understand what’s changing — in plain language 
• Hear how the new system will impact your business 
• Get clarity on key areas like hour-based leave and pro-rata sick leave 
• Learn the timeline and phased implementation
 
• Ask questions directly to the Minister 
• Be better prepared to have your say through the Select Committee process underway 

Understanding the timeline
 
• The Bill has passed its first reading and submissions close 14 April 2026 
• Most changes are expected to come into force around two years after Royal assent 

That means decisions made now will shape how the system works for years to come. 

Have your voice heard
 
This session will give us the clarity to make a submission — whether you support the changes or want to see improvements.
