The spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) across the globe
remains a significant concern in the workplace. Employers are
confronting difficult questions regarding how to handle safety and
health rules, travel restrictions, leave and accommodation,
immigration, and other employment issues. The following Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) are designed to address some of the more
common questions that employers with operations in Australia
currently face. Employers are also encouraged to consult relevant
FAQs put forth by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the
Australian government.
As this is a fluid and rapidly changing situation, please keep
in mind that different or additional facts may warrant
re-assessment of policies and practices so they can serve the best
interest of employees, employers and the community at large.
