In response to the changes to Victoria’s restriction levels to control the spread of COVID-19, as announced by the State Premier on 02 August 2020, from 11:59pm on Wednesday 05 August employers requiring their staff to attend a work site in Melbourne have to issue a worker permit to their employees under the ‘Permitted Worker Scheme’.
Further, a dedicated ‘Industry Coordination Centre’ has been set up within the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions to support businesses and determine if businesses can safely operate under the Stage 4 restrictions.

To discuss if your business is COVID-SAFE for operation, call Business Victoria on 13 22 15.
