We’ll break down the most significant and commercially relevant updates, including:

  • What’s changed so far: A clear overview of the key ERA 2025 changes newly in effect from August.
  • What’s coming next: A look ahead at upcoming reforms expected later in 2026/2027, so you can plan ahead.
  • Trade union reforms: Understanding the impact of changes to industrial action, recognition and workforce relations.
  • Sexual harassment obligations: What the strengthened duty means for employers, including practical steps to reduce risk and demonstrate compliance.
  • New responsibilities for employers, including expanded obligations to prevent third-party harassment and what this means in practice.
  • Practical implications for employers: What these changes mean day-to-day for your policies, processes and people management approach.
  • Key actions to take now: Clear, practical steps to help you prepare your organisation and stay ahead of legal risk.
