Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

Today we are taking a look at the recently implemented Right to Disconnect Laws which came into place for small businesses on the 26th August 2025.

In this episode we unpack what the right to disconnect is and what it actually means, we discuss the implementation, pathway and why this matters for small business now and we take a look at what will it actually mean for your businesses in practical terms.

I also share some real life examples of what I am seeing play out with the clients I am working with and how they are implementing the right to disconnect.
