Safe Work Australia has published updated information for employers on managing the risks from COVID-19.

Under the model work health and safety laws, employers must have measures in place to eliminate or manage the risk of exposure to COVID-19.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19): Advice for Employers web page includes information on what an employer should do to protect workers and others at a workplace.

The page also includes links to relevant information on Commonwealth, state and territory WHS and workers’ compensation regulator websites, as well as national, state and territory health department websites. Safe Work Australia will continue to update the Coronavirus (COVID-19): Advice for Employers web page as the situation develops.
