Careers are no longer linear and hiring strategies shouldn't be either.

New data from Jobs and Skills Australia highlights how Australians move between occupations, reinforcing the value of transferable skills and capability-based hiring.

Our latest blog explores what workforce mobility means for employers, job seekers and the future of work.

Could Victoria be leading the next evolution of flexible work in Australia?

Victoria could become the first Australian jurisdiction to legislate a right to work from home, with the Equal Opportunity Amendment (Work from Home) Bill 2026 currently before Parliament.

The proposed Equal Opportunity Amendment (Work from Home) Bill would allow eligible employees to work remotely up to two days per week where their role can reasonably be performed from home.

If passed in its current form, the legislation would mark a significant shift in workplace flexibility, creating a presumption in favour of working from home for eligible employees where it is reasonable to do so. Employers would need to demonstrate genuine operational reasons to refuse a request.

The changes are expected to take effect from 1 September 2026 for most employers, and 1 July 2027 for small businesses.

What should employers be considering now?
✅ Review flexible and hybrid work policies
✅ Identify roles that can be performed remotely
✅ Document operational requirements for onsite positions
✅ Assess the impact on national workforce strategies

As employee expectations continue to evolve, organisations that proactively adapt will be better positioned to attract and retain talent.

On 1 July 2026, Australia's government-funded Paid Parental Leave scheme expanded to 26 weeks (6 months), giving eligible parents more time to focus on what matters most — their growing family. The changes also include superannuation contributions on Paid Parental Leave and increased flexibility for families to share leave between parents.

At Peoplebank, we see firsthand that balancing career and family commitments is an important consideration for many professionals. Initiatives that support working parents help create more inclusive workplaces, improve workforce participation and give families greater choice during those precious early months.

Whether you're a contractor, permanent employee, hiring manager or business leader, it's encouraging to see continued investment in policies that support the wellbeing of Australian workers and their families.

What impact do you think extended paid parental leave will have on attracting and retaining talent in Australia?

🖤💛❤️ Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2026

This NAIDOC Week, we celebrate 50 Years of Deadly, a milestone that honours five decades of celebrating the strength, resilience and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The 2026 theme recognises the Elders, leaders, artists and communities who have shaped this movement, while celebrating the cultures, stories and voices that continue to inspire future generations. It is a reminder that NAIDOC Week is more than a celebration, it's an opportunity to learn, reflect and recognise the enduring contributions of First Nations peoples.

At Peoplebank, we're committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where diversity is valued and opportunities are created for everyone. Through partnerships and employment pathways, we continue to support First Nations peoples and contribute to a more inclusive future.

This week, we encourage everyone to take the time to listen, learn and celebrate the rich histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Happy NAIDOC Week.
