On 30 January 2025, the Bill establishing criteria for automated employment decision tools was introduced at the Senate. The Bill aims to regulate the use of automated employment decision tools by employers. The Bill mandates an annual disparate impact analysis to assess the actual impact of these tools on job candidate selection. Employers must make a summary of this analysis publicly available on their websites before using such tools. Additionally, the summary must be submitted to the Department annually. The Attorney General and the Commissioner are authorised to investigate and take legal action if there is evidence of non-compliance. The Department may also establish rules and regulations to implement the Bill's provisions.
