The proposal would support a four-day work week through the following components:

  • Component 1: support a national four-day work week test case through the Fair Work Commission, aiming to reduce working hours to a four-day week with no loss of pay
  • Component 2: establish a National Institute for the Four-Day Work Week to plan and guide implementation. The institute would be funded to deliver the test case with $10 million per year.

The proposal would be ongoing, not indexed and would start from 1 July 2026.
