The article discusses the newly released papers about the challenges in balancing paid work and family responsibilities by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) in Australia. The paper examined the manner in which men and women balance their work and family responsibilities and provided an outline of the new approach to alleviate the existing status. Moreover, the Australian government implemented laws to protect the workers having family and caregiver responsibility in the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 and the Disability Discrimination Act.
