From 11:59pm Wednesday 5 August, workplaces in Melbourne must be closed unless: the workplace is part of a permitted activity, or all employees are working from home.

Employers that require their staff to attend a work site must issue a worker permit to their employees – this is the employer’s responsibility. For more details visit https://www.justice.vic.gov.au/permitted-worker-scheme.
