Dear Staff,
Unfortunately the Health Minister has recently changed the NSW Health direction on residents leaving the hot spot LGA’s.
As such, if you reside in an affected LGA’s you are NOT to come to work as of 01/08/2021.
The previously issued Essential Worker Notice dated 27/07/2021 is void as of today if you live an affected LGA.
**Again we appreciate this is a stressful time for everyone especially with conflicting advice being issued,** but we must act and change our policies whenever the NSW Government policies or advice changes.
Further detail will be issued in the coming days.
------------------------------
Dunno why the essential worker notice is now void?
Somewhat clearer now, but they are certainly spot on with the "conflicting advice" bit that I highlighted from your post.
Is there a gov link anywhere as to where essential workers cannot work?
Authorised worker can work anywhere, authorised workers from certain LGAs need to have regular covid tests.
Workers from LGAs of concern are not allowed to leave their LGAs for work, people in these areas are not allowed to leave these areas for any purpose outside of critical work.
