Key Legislative Changes You Need to Know in 2024–2025
As regulatory expectations increase, organisations that don’t have robust whistleblower protections in place face heightened risks. Here’s what’s changing:
📌 Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
Whistleblower protection reforms commenced 1 July 2019, strengthening rights for disclosers and increasing civil and criminal penalties for retaliation or mishandling reports.
📌 Respect@Work – Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth)
From 13 December 2022, employers have a positive duty to prevent sexual harassment, sex-based discrimination, and victimisation in the workplace.
📌 Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)
Amendments introduced under the Secure Jobs, Better Pay Act (in effect from 6 March 2023) extend protections to employees reporting misconduct.
📌 Aged Care Act 2024 (Cth)
Coming into effect 1 July 2025, this new legislation imposes significant new responsibilities on aged care providers:
- Sections 547 to 554 & 550-1: Expanded duties and penalties for non-compliance
- Draft Rules including Section 165: New requirements for complaints management and whistleblower procedures
