The Australian Education Union (AEU) is recommending a 30.4 hour job-share model in state schools to expand working from home options for teachers, while keeping kids at school five days a week. The union has warned the government will need to get creative to ensure roles that can't be done from home are still appealing. Under the proposal, if you can reasonably do your job from home, you would have the right to do so for at least two days a week.

Despite the shift towards a four-day work week, some companies like AIB are attempting to increase in-office attendance, illustrating resistance to changing work trends.
