Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan wants to link teleworking to the right of employees to work from home at least two days a week.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has announced plans to legislate teleworking, saying it should be a right, not a requirement. The proposal would allow employees to work from home at least two days a week, which would improve productivity and reduce traffic congestion. Consultations with employees, employers and unions will precede tabling the initiative in the Victorian Parliament next year. Teleworking has become a controversial topic globally, with varying reactions from companies and governments.
