NAT 041/20: COVID -19: What you need to know about Safety and Workers Compensation:

Over the last two months Ai Group has been providing many safety resources on our website to assist members through these challenging times of COVID-19, including fact sheets, guidance material and webinars. This material has covered the risks and controls for those continuing to work in the workplace and those working from home.

This Member Advice now provides an update on some important legislative changes and other Government initiatives focused on supporting organisations to establish and/or maintain practices that will minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the workplace, and some that provide financial assistance to employers.

It also includes information about changes to workers’ compensation legislation for COVID-19 in New South Wales that will apply to workers in prescribed employment. At the end of this Advice we also provide links to some of the key resources.
