Back to the office

The work from home recommendations in Victoria have been lifted, as the state government encourages workers to safely return to the office.

The government said the work from home recommendations were in place to help reduce transmission and protect the health system when it was under significant pressure during winter. The advice from the Department of Health is that this pressure and transmission risk has reduced.

Employers and staff may still consider remote working arrangements that are most appropriate for their workplace and employees based on individual requirements.

Even when there are lower case numbers, it is always important that any employee who has Covid symptoms does a test and stays home.

All Victorians, no matter where they work, are encouraged to make sure they are up to date with vaccinations, to wear a good quality face mask when in an indoor space and unable to socially distance and maintain good ventilation indoors.
