Read the HR Updates feed

The HR Updates feed is a curated stream of things Australian HR admins should know. Legislative changes, compliance reminders, and platform announcements all show up here.

Open the Updates feed

1. From the HR Hub, open HR Updates (or navigate to /hr-hub/updates.html).

You’ll see a list of update cards, newest first. Unread cards are marked with an indigo dot and a left border.

Update categories

Each update is categorised so you can scan or filter:

• Legislative. Changes to Australian employment law, WHS regs, Fair Work standards, etc. (Blue badge.)
• Compliance. Reminders about specific compliance practices and upcoming deadlines. (Amber badge.)
• General. Industry context, best-practice notes, occasional longer reads. (Grey badge.)

YHRTK-authored vs your own

Updates fall into two sources:

• YHRTK-authored updates carry a small gradient badge. These are written by the Your HR Toolkit team for the whole platform’s user base. They cover legislative changes, platform releases, and general HR practice.
• Your organisation’s own updates (no special badge). These are posted by your admins for your team. The mechanism is the same feed, but the audience can be limited.

You can filter the feed to show one type or the other if you’d like.

Read in full

By default, the feed shows the first 3 lines of each update with a Read more link. Click to expand and read the full content.

Marking as read

Reading an update marks it as read. The unread dot disappears, the left border fades. You can also bulk mark all as read if you’ve caught up.

Posting an update for your team (admins)

Admins can post their own updates to the feed for the team. From the admin update view:

1. Click to add a new update.
2. Pick a category (legislative, compliance, or general).
3. Write a title and the body (rich text supported).
4. Pick the audience — everyone, or a specific group.
5. Publish.

The update appears in everyone’s feed (in the relevant audience), with the unread indicator until they read it.

Linking updates to compliance tasks

Some updates relate to specific compliance tasks (e.g. “Workplace gender equality reporting deadline coming up”). These updates can deep-link directly to the relevant entry in the Compliance Calendar so you can mark the task done from the update card.

Permissions

The HR Updates feed is admin only. Managers and employees see a separate Announcements feed on their dashboard, which is a different mechanism (org-internal announcements from admins).
