Abstract

The 2022 FDVL Act changed the existing minimum entitlement of 5 days’ unpaid Family and Domestic Violence Leave (FDV leave) in the National Employment Standards (NES) to a new entitlement of 10 days’ paid leave under the NES. The paid FDV leave entitlement commenced for non-small business employees on 1 February 2023 and small business employees from 1 August 2023 and will extend beyond the national system, applying to all employees, from 9 September 2024.

This Independent Review of the operation of the amendments made to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (Fair Work Act) by the Fair Work Amendment (Paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave) Act 2022 (Cth) (2022 FDVL Act) is undertaken pursuant to section 4 of the 2022 FDVL Act. In conducting the Review, the reviewer is required to consider both qualitative and quantitative research and the impact of the amendments on:
(a) small businesses; and
(b) sole traders; and
(c) people experiencing family and domestic violence.
