The Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes No. 2) Bill 2024 (Closing Loopholes No.2 Bill or Bill) was passed by Parliament on 12 February 2024 but is yet to receive Royal Assent.

The Closing Loopholes Bill No.2 deals with various matters that were not addressed in the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Act 2023, which was passed by Parliament late last year and received Royal Assent on 14 December 2023.

A range of significant amendments were made to the Bill before it passed the Senate on 8 February 2024.

A detailed guide to the Closing Loopholes Act is available to members and a detailed guide on the Closing Loopholes No.2 Bill will be made available to members shortly.

Members are invited to a series of in-person briefings in March that will cover all of the changes introduced through the ‘Closing Loopholes’ tranche of legislative amendments.
