On 18 September 2024, the Industrial Relations Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 was introduced into State Parliament.

The Bill seeks to continue to modernise the state system, improve minimum conditions, and ensure only fit and proper people have the ability to enter WA workplaces. Amendments are proposed to the Industrial Relations Act 1979 and the Minimum Conditions of Employment Act 1993.

The Bill is currently being considered by State Parliament and the proposed changes to state employment law will not come into effect until the Bill is passed by Parliament and the provisions commence.
