Following Premier Daniel Andrews’ announcement this morning, whilst lockdown restrictions will ease in regional Victoria from this evening, Monday 9 August, if you can work from home, you must continue work from home.

As of 11.59pm this evening, only 25% of employees or a limit of 10, whichever is greater, can return to working on-site in the office, with a density quotient of 1 person per 4 sqm.
