The introduction of a universal right to work from home for two days a week for all Australians must be done in a way that supports, not weakens, workplace rights for young people with disability.
In CYDA’s submission to the Fair Work Amendment (Right to Work from Home) Bill 2025, we note the extra barriers disabled young people face in employment.
We recommend that the amendment:
- Works as a minimum standard and does not cap, limit, or displace additional disability rights under reasonable adjustment frameworks
- Safeguards and enshrines disability and caring-specific accomodations
- Aligns with the Disability Discrimination Act and other Discrimination Acts
- Makes sure that WFH conditions are accessible, safe and equitable
