Social Workers Registration Legislation Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 21 Feb 2024

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill seeks to delay the repeal of the experience pathway to 28 February 2028, to allow more time for the impacts of the extension of the pay equity settlement for social services across the government-funded sector to be realised.
