The Labor Government has announced six things to m

The Labor Government has announced six things to make renting fairer for you: 🏘

1. Stop landlords making dubious bond claims without evidence – show us the receipts

2. Ban ‘no fault’ evictions – so you can’t be kicked out of your home for no reason

3. Ban the extra fees that get charged when you pay your own rent – including on ‘rent tech’ apps

4. Ban apps from charging ‘background check’ fees for rental applications – applying should be free

5. Cap the cost of breaking a lease – so no one pays an eye-watering amount in compensation

6. Make it clear that if you need an extra key or fob for your apartment – you get one
These are just some of the announcements the Government is making this month about more homes, more opportunity and more rights for renters, buyers and owners.

We know that when financial assistance is easier to access, victims of crime can focus on their emotional and physical recovery without the additional worry of navigating complex systems.

That’s why we’ve just announced a new online Financial Assistance Scheme – because victims of crime deserve support, not red tape.

Our Respectful Relationships program is helping yo

Our Respectful Relationships program is helping young people be their best – in and outside the classroom.

But we know there is always more to do when it comes to preventing family violence.
That’s why we’re ensuring our kids have access to new resources to help them build and maintain healthy relationships.

It'll mean learning about things like hate speech, pornography, toxic masculinity and coercive control – so they have the tools to keep themselves, and each other, safe.

More than 200 free, fun and educational Children’s Week events will be held across the state thanks to the Victorian Governments grants of up to $1000 to local councils and not-for-profit organisations.

The theme for Children’s Week 2024 is: “Children have the right to a clean and safe environment”.

🏡 Exciting news! The Allan Labor Government is making it easier for everyone to buy off-the-plan apartments, units, and townhouses by slashing stamp duty.
This move will help reduce upfront costs, speed up construction, and make homeownership more affordable for all.

Here’s what’s changing:
• Anyone purchasing an off-the-plan apartment, unit, or townhouse can benefit from this concession—it's not just for first home buyers or owner-occupiers!
• There will be no value limits, so the concession applies to properties of any price.

This is just one part of a series of announcements this week focusing on more homes, greater support for the industry, and enhanced opportunities for renters and buyers.

For more details on the concessions available and how they’re calculated, check out www.sro.vic.gov.au/offtheplan.

Manufacturing in Victoria is a $33.5 billion indus

Manufacturing in Victoria is a $33.5 billion industry that employs more than 260,000 people across almost 24,000 businesses. 👷‍♀️🧰🔧👩‍🔧

Yet women’s representation in Victoria’s manufacturing sector has only increased from 29 to 33 per cent over the past 20 years.

The Making it equal: Victoria’s Women in Manufacturing Strategy will support better recruitment, advancement and retention of Victorian women in manufacturing where they’ve traditionally been underrepresented. It brings together work from across government, including an investment of $2 million into industry-led initiatives.

To read the strategy and access practical tools for employers, industry, unions and training providers to support gender equality in manufacturing visit vic.gov.au/women-in-manufacturing
