The organisation said expanding work-from-home arrangements may offer benefits for some sectors, such as public administration roles and workers seeking greater flexibility, but stressed that many small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses already work directly with employees to negotiate practical workplace arrangements. **“Work from home should be applied to industries where practical,”** said SEMMA CEO Honi Walker, acknowledging that remote working models may suit certain roles but are not universally applicable across the economy. SEMMA also cautioned against politicising the issue during an election year, arguing that uncertainty around the proposal could create expectations that may not be achievable if legislative authority does not align with policy ambitions. The organisation encouraged the Victorian government to communicate the legal and administrative limits of state-level action on industrial relations while recognising that greater flexibility may benefit eligible sectors. SEMMA further said a universal work-from-home mandate could overlook the role of workers in industries that require physical presence to operate, including healthcare, emergency services, education, hospitality, transport, and retail support roles. **“As manufacturers, we respectfully request that the government continue to allow private industry to negotiate directly with employees, as is currently practiced,”** Walker said. **“No changes to legislation are necessary for industries where existing arrangements are working well. What is required is common sense, clarity, and clear communication.”**]]></description> <author>contact@remoteinaustralia.com (RemoteInAustralia.com)</author> <category>manufacturing</category> <category>legislation</category> <category>remotework</category> <category>policy</category> <category>flexibility</category> <enclosure url="https://www.australianmanufacturing.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AdobeStock_8680820.jpeg_Steve-Mann.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Australian Employers Are Getting Bolder: How 2026 Salary Negotiations Are Shaping Up]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteinaustralia.com/article/australian-employers-are-getting-bolder-how-2026-salary-negotiations-are-shaping-up</link> <guid>australian-employers-are-getting-bolder-how-2026-salary-negotiations-are-shaping-up</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2026 21:00:38 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Australian employers are showing early signs of greater confidence in pay discussions for 2026. Most expect an improving economic outlook to shape salary setting over the next year, according to new research from recruiter Robert Half. A survey of 500 employers found **71% expect the economic outlook in Australia to have a positive impact** on their approach to salaries over the next 12 months. Another 20% expect a negative impact, 6% anticipate no impact and 3% are unsure. Organisations still report tight controls on approvals and spending. Even so, employers appear more willing to revisit pay for roles where **skills are scarce** or business priorities are shifting. ## Negotiation Returns Salary negotiations look set to remain a standard part of hiring. Almost all employers surveyed (**99%**) said they are willing to go above an initial salary offer during recruitment for an average role. Asked how far they would move beyond an initial proposal, **40% said they would increase an offer by 6% to 10%**, while 16% said 5% or less. Larger adjustments were less common: 29% would go 11% to 15%, 12% would go 16% to 20%, and 2% would offer more than 20%. The results suggest most negotiations for standard roles will stay within a relatively narrow band, with fewer employers keeping room for bigger moves when candidate quality or market conditions demand it. Clinton Marks, Director at Robert Half, said the pay environment remains cautious, with employers planning for shifting conditions while keeping a close watch on costs. > "Employers are starting to plan for a change in the cycle, but salary growth isn't yet widespread," said Marks. ## What Drives Offers **Skills and experience** were the main reasons employers gave for raising an offer during negotiations. Highly specialised skills topped the list (52%), followed by years of experience (44%) and available budget (40%). Other factors included seniority and a lack of qualified talent in the market (both 34%), as well as people management responsibilities (29%). The findings highlight the importance of role-specific labour market conditions. They also show the influence of internal constraints, with **budget remaining a key consideration** even when employers want to secure a candidate. ## Benefits Gap When employers cannot meet salary expectations, most are prepared to discuss non-salary options. The survey found **97% would offer alternative perks or benefits** if pay expectations fell outside their range. **Flexible work arrangements** were the most common option (56%), followed by higher performance bonuses (55%) and professional development opportunities (52%). More traditional incentives ranked lower. A one-time signing bonus was cited by 28% of employers, while insurance programmes and additional paid time off were cited by 26% and 25% respectively. Stock options were cited by 13%. Marks said employers are weighing a broader mix of incentives in negotiations, particularly when salary budgets are constrained. > "Although competitive pay continues to underpin talent attraction, non‐financial incentives continue to gain prominence at the negotiating table. Employers are adopting more creative and flexible approaches to align with candidate expectations, especially when hiring pressures are high and salary budgets are under strain," said Marks. ## Pay Benchmarks Robert Half's guide also set out indicative starting salaries across finance and accounting, IT and technology, financial services, business support, human resources and marketing, using 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles. In finance and accounting, the midpoint starting salary for a Financial Controller was listed at **AUD $195,000**, rising to AUD $210,000 at the 75th percentile. Finance Managers were listed at AUD $145,000 at the midpoint, Management Accountants at AUD $110,000, and Payroll Officers at AUD $85,000. In IT and technology, the midpoint starting salary for a Cyber-Security Specialist was **AUD $150,000**, rising to AUD $180,000 at the 75th percentile. Cloud Engineers were listed at AUD $155,000 at the midpoint, Data Engineers at AUD $145,000, and IT Support roles at AUD $80,000. In financial services, specialist and leadership roles showed higher figures. The midpoint for a Head of Financial Crime/AML role was **AUD $220,000**, rising to AUD $270,000 at the 75th percentile. Senior Compliance Managers and Senior Operational Risk Managers were listed at AUD $170,000 at the midpoint. In business support, an Executive Assistant was listed at AUD $115,000 at the midpoint, while Office Managers were listed at AUD $100,000. In human resources, the midpoint for an HR Manager was AUD $145,000, and an HR Advisor was listed at AUD $100,000. Marketing roles included a Marketing Manager at AUD $140,000 at the midpoint and a Digital Marketing Specialist at AUD $100,000. Overall, the results point to a hiring market in which employers expect to negotiate, maintain cost discipline, and pay more where skills are scarce. Where base salary budgets do not stretch further, many are leaning on flexibility, variable pay and development options.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteinaustralia.com (RemoteInAustralia.com)</author> <category>salarynegotiation</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>australianjobs</category> <category>remotework</category> <category>flexiblework</category> <enclosure url="https://itbrief.com.au/uploads/story/2026/02/24/compatible_australian_boardroom_contract_negotiation_sydney_2026_calendar_view.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[The Hidden Costs of Remote Work: How Social Isolation Could Be Sabotaging Your Career]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteinaustralia.com/article/the-hidden-costs-of-remote-work-how-social-isolation-could-be-sabotaging-your-career</link> <guid>the-hidden-costs-of-remote-work-how-social-isolation-could-be-sabotaging-your-career</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2026 21:00:29 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2023) fundamentally reshaped the world of work, particularly for office-based employees. In 2019, fewer than 6% of U.S. employees worked remotely. During the pandemic's peak, this number surged to over 50%, including part-time remote workers. Today, about 25% of employees work remotely at least part-time, with roughly 10% working entirely away from the office, mostly from home. **Attitudes toward remote work vary widely.** In 2020, *The Wall Street Journal* published remarks from 19 CEOs across different industries: 9 were negative, 3 positive, and 7 undecided. While concerns about **productivity** and work quality have often been debunked by studies showing they remain stable or improve, CEOs highlighted other critical issues. They worried that the lack of social interaction could hinder **personal growth**, **professional development**, **innovation**, and **creativity**—concerns that research has validated. On the flip side, most employees are enthusiastic about remote work. It offers greater convenience for balancing work with home tasks or childcare, and autonomy provides flexibility. Hybrid schedules, which require employees to be in the office a set number of days each week, serve as a compromise between home and office environments. However, there are significant downsides to not working in an office. Peter Cappelli of the Wharton School and Jasmine Wu (now at the University of Texas at Austin) conducted group interviews with over 750 employees of a multinational company about remote work. Their findings revealed: - Remote workers focused more on **individual tasks**. - They paid less attention to **collective tasks** involving others. - **Cooperation** became more challenging. - Social relationships eroded, negatively impacting **organizational culture**. - For new employees, **learning the ropes** was particularly difficult. Cappelli and Wu concluded that **face-to-face interactions** are crucial for building the social relationships that make office work successful. Years ago, my office relocated to a building 10 miles from the rest of our organization. Daily face-to-face interactions ceased, making communication harder. The informal conversations and useful information we once gained were lost, and it became a struggle to stay in the loop, requiring extra effort to avoid becoming "out of sight, out of mind." In 2021, Cappelli suggested in *The Wall Street Journal* that we might be heading toward a **two-tier workplace**. Employees in the office enjoy better access to managers, receive more **attention**, have more face time, and are more likely to be promoted. This aligns with our understanding of workplace dynamics: we naturally interact more with those nearby than with distant or virtual colleagues. All else being equal, managers often favor on-site workers they see daily over remote workers they engage with virtually, potentially leading to an inequitable system. Organizations adopt varied approaches to remote work based on multiple factors. Some jobs are well-suited to remote work, while others face challenges. A one-size-fits-all policy may not be optimal, and many organizations are still experimenting with remote work models. For both organizations and individuals, remote work involves weighing costs, benefits, and personal preferences.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteinaustralia.com (RemoteInAustralia.com)</author> <category>remote-work</category> <category>social-isolation</category> <category>career-growth</category> <category>hybrid-work</category> <category>team-collaboration</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn2.psychologytoday.com/assets/styles/manual_crop_1_91_1_1528x800/public/teaser_image/blog_entry/2026-02/remote%20work.jpg?itok=yzsqlRAH" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Why Remote Work is a Lifeline for Disabled Workers: The Alarming Trend That Could Shut Them Out]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteinaustralia.com/article/why-remote-work-is-a-lifeline-for-disabled-workers-the-alarming-trend-that-could-shut-them-out</link> <guid>why-remote-work-is-a-lifeline-for-disabled-workers-the-alarming-trend-that-could-shut-them-out</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2026 21:00:38 GMT</pubDate> <description>< has raised concerns that fewer remote jobs could make it harder for people living with disability to find and keep work. Research from the Work Foundation at Lancaster University found that **more than eight in 10 disabled jobseekers** said working from home was essential or very important when looking for a new job. Almost half wanted to work remotely all the time. The study also found that **fully remote roles in the UK have fallen sharply** since the pandemic peak. Researchers warned this trend could push disabled workers out of employment if flexibility continues to shrink. ## The Employment Gap in Australia Remains Significant In Australia, people living with disability are far less likely to be employed than people without disability. According to the [Australian Bureau of Statistics 2022 Survey of Disability](https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/disability/disability-ageing-and-carers-australia-summary-findings/latest-release), Ageing and Carers: - **56.1% of working-age people with disability were employed** - **82.3% of people without disability were employed** - The unemployment rate for people with disability was 7.3% - The unemployment rate for people without disability was 3.1% The employment gap has existed for decades. Remote work changed part of that picture. ## Remote Work Has Increased Participation Remote and hybrid work remain common in Australia. The ABS reports that [36% of employed](https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/labour/earnings-and-working-conditions/working-arrangements/latest-release) Australians usually worked from home in August 2025. [Indeed’s Hiring Lab](https://www.hiringlab.org/au/blog/2024/09/16/australian-remote-work-grows/) found **14.3% of Australian job postings in August 2024 mentioned remote work**. That is roughly three times higher than pre-pandemic levels. Research from the [Committee for Economic Development of Australia](https://www.ceda.com.au/news-and-resources/media-releases/economy/remote-work-has-boosted-employment-for-parents-and-people-with-a-disability) shows participation in jobs that allow working from home increased by nearly six percentage points for people with disability or a health condition between 2019 and 2022. When access to remote work increased, workforce participation increased. ## Remote Work Supports Health and Productivity [Research from the University of New South Wales](https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2023/07/Back-to-the-office-push-could-reverse-gains-for-people-with-disability) found **almost two-thirds of disabled employees reported being more productive working from home**. Many reported improvements in mental health and reduced fatigue. For many people living with disability, working from home reduces: - **Transport barriers** - **Fatigue from commuting** - **Stress linked to inaccessible workplaces** - **Time spent managing health conditions** For some workers, it determines whether employment is possible. ## Legal Protections Exist Under [Australia’s Fair Work laws](https://www.fairwork.gov.au/employment-conditions/flexibility-in-the-workplace/flexible-working-arrangements), employees living with disability have the right to request flexible working arrangements, including remote work. Employers must consider requests. They may refuse on reasonable business grounds. ## Why This Matters Australia’s Department of Social Services [National Disability Strategy](https://www.dss.gov.au/disability-and-carers/national-disability-strategy) 2021–2031 identifies employment as a key priority. Remote and hybrid work expanded employment access for people living with disability. The UK data shows what happens when remote-only roles decline quickly. **Flexibility increases participation. Reduced flexibility increases exclusion.** For many Australians living with disability and their families, working from home is not a preference. It is access.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteinaustralia.com (RemoteInAustralia.com)</author> <category>disability</category> <category>remotejobs</category> <category>employment</category> <category>flexibility</category> <category>inclusion</category> <enclosure url="https://agedcareguide-assets.imgix.net/news/articles/wp/iStock-2251386801.jpg?fm=pjpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[How Hybrid Work and Digital Transformation Are Reshaping Australia's Printer Market]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteinaustralia.com/article/how-hybrid-work-and-digital-transformation-are-reshaping-australias-printer-market</link> <guid>how-hybrid-work-and-digital-transformation-are-reshaping-australias-printer-market</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 21:00:28 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Australia's Printer Market: A Market in Transition The Australia Printer Market is entering a new phase of transformation as businesses, institutions, and households rethink how they create, manage, and distribute documents and printed materials. According to Renub Research, the Australia Printer Market is expected to reach **US$ 1,507.86 million by 2033**, growing from US$ 1,007.68 million in 2024, at a CAGR of 4.58% from 2025 to 2033. This steady growth reflects not only the continued relevance of printing in a digital-first world, but also the industry’s ability to reinvent itself through innovation, efficiency, and new use cases. For many years, the global narrative around printing was dominated by the idea of a “paperless office.” While digital tools have undoubtedly reduced certain types of printing, they have not eliminated the need for printers. Instead, printing in Australia is evolving. Today’s market is shaped by **hybrid work models**, expanding e-commerce, growing demand for packaging and labeling, and the rise of personalized and on-demand printing solutions. From home offices and corporate environments to industrial production floors, printers remain a critical piece of business infrastructure. At the same time, the industry is undergoing a technological upgrade. Modern printers are no longer just output devices; they are smart, connected systems integrated with cloud platforms, enterprise software, and digital workflows. Features such as wireless connectivity, mobile printing, remote management, and multifunction capabilities are becoming standard rather than optional. This shift is helping the printer market remain resilient even as digital alternatives continue to grow. ## Industry Overview: Technology, Flexibility, and Sustainability The Australian printer industry is being reshaped by two powerful forces: technological progress and changing customer expectations. Traditional printing methods are increasingly being complemented—or replaced—by digital printing technologies that offer higher speed, better quality, and greater flexibility. Businesses today want printers that can do more than just print. They expect devices that can scan, copy, manage documents, connect to the cloud, and integrate smoothly into their IT ecosystems. The rise of **remote work and home-based businesses** has further accelerated this trend. Compact, multifunction printers that can handle a variety of tasks in small spaces are in high demand. For many Australian households and small businesses, a single device now serves as a complete document management hub. This has expanded the residential and small office segments of the printer market, creating new opportunities for manufacturers and service providers. Sustainability is another major theme shaping the industry. Environmental concerns, rising energy costs, and corporate sustainability goals are pushing both manufacturers and buyers to focus on eco-friendly printing solutions. Energy-efficient devices, reduced waste technologies, recyclable consumables, and ink-saving features are becoming important differentiators in purchasing decisions. Many companies are also rethinking their printing strategies to balance cost, environmental impact, and operational needs. Despite these positive developments, the industry is also becoming more competitive. Global and regional players are investing heavily in innovation, customer service, and after-sales support to stand out in a crowded market. The result is a dynamic, fast-evolving landscape where success depends on a company’s ability to adapt to changing business models and user expectations. ## Key Factors Driving the Australia Printer Market Growth ### Government Initiatives Supporting Digital Transformation The Australian government has been actively promoting digital transformation across multiple sectors of the economy, recognizing its importance for productivity, competitiveness, and long-term growth. Through various funding programs, incentives, and policy frameworks, businesses are encouraged to modernize their operations and adopt advanced technologies. This push toward digitalization indirectly supports the printer market as well. Modern workplaces require smarter, more connected printing solutions that can integrate with digital workflows, cloud platforms, and cybersecurity systems. Government-backed digital initiatives encourage organizations to upgrade outdated equipment and invest in new-generation printers that offer better efficiency, security, and connectivity. This environment creates a favorable climate for both domestic and international printer manufacturers to introduce innovative products tailored to the evolving needs of Australian businesses. ### Rising Demand for Personalized and On-Demand Printing One of the most significant shifts in the printing industry is the move away from mass production toward personalized and on-demand printing. Businesses in retail, marketing, publishing, and events are increasingly looking for short-run, customized print solutions that can be produced quickly and cost-effectively. This trend is being driven by changing consumer expectations. Customers today want personalized experiences—whether it is customized packaging, limited-edition promotional materials, or targeted marketing campaigns. Digital printing technologies make it possible to produce such materials without the high setup costs associated with traditional printing methods. As a result, demand for versatile digital printers capable of high-quality, small-batch production is growing steadily across Australia. On-demand printing also helps companies reduce waste and manage inventory more efficiently by printing only what is needed, when it is needed. This aligns well with both cost-saving goals and sustainability objectives, further strengthening the case for investment in modern printing solutions. ### Business Investment in Modern, Versatile Printing Solutions Across industries, Australian businesses are increasingly investing in modern printing technologies that offer greater flexibility, speed, and cost efficiency. Multifunction printers that combine printing, scanning, copying, and document management features are now standard in many offices. In industrial and commercial environments, advanced digital presses and specialized printers are being adopted to support packaging, labeling, and large-format printing needs. Cloud integration and wireless connectivity are also becoming essential features, especially for organizations with remote or hybrid workforces. These capabilities allow employees to print securely from different locations and devices, improving productivity and workflow efficiency. For many companies, upgrading their printing infrastructure is no longer just a hardware decision—it is part of a broader digital transformation strategy. This continuous modernization is a key driver of market growth, as organizations replace older equipment with newer, more capable systems and expand their printing capabilities into new areas of business. ## Challenges in the Australia Printer Market ### Supply Chain Disruptions Like many technology-driven industries, the printer market has been affected by global supply chain disruptions in recent years.
