Coronavirus and Australian workplace laws
If your workplace has been impacted by coronavirus, we have information about your workplace rights and obligations at Coronavirus and Australian workplace laws.
A number of temporary changes have been introduced due to coronavirus including:
- JobKeeper – changes to the Fair Work Act to support the JobKeeper wage subsidy scheme
- temporary award changes – allowing for temporary workplace flexibility in some awards
- pandemic leave – unpaid and paid pandemic leave (including worker and disaster payments) during coronavirus.
The coronavirus outbreak has also affected our services. Find out what it means for you and what you can expect. Visit How coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected our services.
New Fair Work Information Statement
We’ve updated the Fair Work Information Statement to make it easier to understand minimum workplace entitlements.
Every worker in Australia needs to get a copy of the FWIS when they start a new job.
Download a copy from our Fair Work Information Statement page.
The FWIS is also available in over 30 languages. You can download a copy of the FWIS in your language from our Language help pages.
