The Approved Employer Guidelines v2.1 landed on 27 March 2026 — tightening obligations around privacy, worker welfare, and employer accountability. This assessment walks you clause by clause through both the Deed and the updated Guidelines, scoring your maturity against every obligation so you know exactly where your risk exposure sits.
The 27 March update refined obligations across several key areas. Here's what every accredited employer needs to be across.
Strengthened requirements around how employers collect, store, and manage PALM workers' personal information.
Duplication removed and requirements reworded — simpler language doesn't mean lighter obligations.
Some settings consolidated, which changes how compliance evidence needs to be structured and documented.
Existing obligations strengthened — the floor has been raised. Non-compliance consequences remain firm.
