Victorian permitted worker scheme

From 11:59pm Wednesday 5 August, workplaces in Melbourne must be closed unless:

• the workplace is part of a permitted activity, or
• all employees are working from home

Employers that require their staff to attend a work site must issue a worker permit to their employees.

Employers can issue a worker permit to their employee if:

• the organisation is on the list of permitted activities
• the employee is working in an approved category for on-site work, and
• the employee cannot work from home

How to issue a worker permit

Each employee required to be on-site must receive an individual worker permit with the required details.

Employers must:

1. Download the Permitted Worker Scheme Template and complete it.
2. Sign the worker permit. You can print and sign or sign it electronically.
3. Ask the employee to sign the worker permit. They can print and sign or sign electronically.

You do not need to send the worker permit to any Victorian Government department/agency.
