Flexible work has moved far beyond a COVID-era adjustment – it’s now a core part of workplace law and culture. With recent Fair Work Act amendments, new Fair Work Commission powers, and the introduction of the Right to Disconnect, employers, HR professionals and managers are facing a fresh wave of challenges and expectations.

On Friday, 10 October 2025, Georgie Chapman, Partner, and Eliza Millen, Associate, will be running a FREE 1-hour practical webinar which will cut through the complexity, giving you the tools and confidence to understand your legal obligations, manage and respond to flexible work requests, and navigate the implications of the new right to disconnect.

  • Employer responsibilities and employee rights regarding flexible working requests under recent legislative changes
  • Practical advice on responding to flexible working requests, including when and how to refuse requests appropriately
  • Key considerations around the Right to Disconnect and its implications for workplace policies
