Your rights and responsibilities to working from home safely.

The way we work has evolved over the last few years. First the COVID-19 pandemic and most recently CPSU achievements in bargaining have resulted in more workers having access to working from home arrangements. This fact sheet provides a quick oversight on your rights, and responsibilities to a safe working environment as a worker participating in work from home arrangements. Regardless of where you are undertaking work, WHS risks must be managed.

Members should refer to the Flexible Work and Working From Home Know Your Rights fact sheet for the most up to date union advice on WFH applications as a result of Service Wide Bargaining.
