Changes are coming soon for the digital platform gig economy and road transport industry.
Introduction

We will soon have new functions relating to regulated workers.
Regulated workers are:
- 'employee-like' workers performing digital platform work, and
- regulated road transport contractors.
Our new functions will start on a date to be proclaimed or from 26 August 2024.
They include:
- making minimum standards orders and guidelines for regulated workers
- making road transport contractual chain orders and guidelines, and
- registering collective agreements for regulated workers and regulated businesses.
We will also have functions relating to regulated worker disputes.
These changes are part of the Closing Loopholes No. 2 Act amendments to the Fair Work Act 2009.

- information to help workers and businesses understand how the changes may affect them.
