22.01.2022 WorkCover WA inspectors will be visiting Kalgoorlie 25 May 2021 to conduct compliance checks and provide education regarding workers’ compensation. Employers, p...lease have your insurer issued Certificate of Currency ready for inspection. It is important to remember: employers in WA must have workers’ compensation insurance workers’ compensation insurance does not automatically renew each year public liability insurance is not the same as workers’ compensation insurance ‘business insurance packages’ arranged through insurers or brokers often exclude workers’ compensation liability. It is important to check which insurance products are included in the package casual employees, family members, sub-contractors, carers and domestic staff can all be workers entitled to compensation if injured while being paid to work for you, so don’t risk an uninsured claim - seek advice if you are not sure if you are an employer. employers must have an Injury Management System available which explains the steps to take if there is an injury in the workplace For more information, visit our website. https://www.workcover.wa.gov.au/employers/

14.01.2022 Following further cases detected overnight, Western Australia will return to hard border arrangements for travel from Victoria from midnight tonight (12:01am Sa...turday 17 July). Under this classification, only exempt travel will be permitted, and those travellers will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days and be tested on arrival and on day 11. I would also take this opportunity to urge any Western Australians who have recently travelled to Victoria and who are intending to return home: don't wait. Returning travellers will be permitted to return under the limited exemptions in the coming days, but if the situation worsens we may need to further strengthen these arrangements. If you need to come back, please come back as soon as possible. This classification will also apply to anyone who has been in Victoria since 8 July who has not completed 14 days in a lower risk jurisdiction. Recent arrivals in WA should continue to monitor for symptoms. Anyone who was at an exposure site in Victoria is required to get tested immediately and self-quarantine for 14 days from the date of exposure - please continue to monitor the list of sites for new sites over the coming days.

09.01.2022 As a result of the worsening situation around the country, we are upgrading our border controls to do everything to protect our State. Effective from 6pm tonigh...t, border controls will be strengthened with the Northern Territory, Queensland and the ACT. These jurisdictions will join Victoria on the ‘low risk’ setting. This means that all arrivals will need to complete 14 days of self-quarantine, and be tested for COVID-19 on arrival and on day 11. New South Wales remains at medium risk - with travel not allowed without an exemption, as well as those exempt travellers needing to self-quarantine for 14 days and be tested on arrival and on day 11. For now, South Australia and Tasmania will be the only jurisdictions that remain at the ‘very low risk’ setting. I know these immediate changes will cause significant disruption for many people, especially with school holidays. But we just cannot afford to take any chances. These changes to our border arrangements are a safe and sensible response to the alarming outbreaks we’re seeing over east - and an important step to keep our community safe.

06.01.2022 In line with updated public health advice, the Perth and Peel regions will return to pre-lockdown life from midnight tomorrow night. At 12.01am this Saturday 15... May, pending no further local cases, all conditions will return to how they were prior to the ANZAC Day long weekend. This follows over 101,000 tests being conducted in WA over the past three weeks and incredible effort - and no further local cases being detected since Saturday 1 May. Pending no further cases, the remaining transitional restrictions will be removed, meaning: - Masks will no longer be mandatory, unless you’re at the airport - There will be no capacity limits for weddings and funerals aside from venue capacity - Visitor limits for patients in hospital, aged care or disability facilities will be lifted - The 100-person capacity limit for home gatherings will be removed - Perth’s major stadiums will be able to operate at 100 per cent capacity. This is fantastic news for our community, businesses and the economy. Conditions will remain as they were prior to lockdown for at least one month - and the Chief Health Officer will review the situation again before recommending a transition to possibly removing remaining restrictions and adjusting to Phase 5. As we continue to ease restrictions, it’s crucial that we keep up our testing numbers, and that all Western Australians continue to use SafeWA whenever they go to a venue. As we’ve seen over the past three weeks, testing and contact tracing are absolutely vital defences for our State.

05.01.2022 First, the headline news: the Perth and Peel lockdown will end as scheduled at midnight tonight. Overnight, we detected one additional local case of COVID-19 in... Western Australia. However, as this case involves the partner of a previous case who has been in quarantine, and had previously tested negative, this new case does not pose a risk to the community. So, as we had hoped, we can now proceed to the end of lockdown restrictions. However, as with previous lockdowns, we will have a staged return towards pre-lockdown conditions over the coming days. From midnight tonight (12:01am Saturday 3 July), Perth and Peel will move to interim restrictions which will remain in place for three days, until 12:01am Tuesday 6 July. Following that, pending ongoing health advice, some further transitional restrictions will remain until Monday 12 July. I’ll detail both stages of restrictions in a moment, but first can I take a moment to thank everyone for doing the right thing over these past few days. As always, we’ve seen strong compliance and excellent testing numbers, and that’s what gives us the confidence to take these steps. The post-lockdown interim restrictions for the Perth and Peel regions from 12.01am Saturday, July 3 until 12.01am Tuesday, 6 July (pending the latest health advice), include: - Everyone must continue to wear a mask in indoor and outdoor public places, while at work and on public transport, unless exempt or for outdoor vigorous exercise; - People who can work from home or remotely, are encourage to do so; - Limit of 10 visitors to all homes; - Limit of 20 people for private outdoor gatherings; - Four square metre capacity rule and 20 patron limit for restaurants, cafés, pubs, bars, casinos, nightclubs, entertainment venues and public venues - for seated food and drink service only; - Four square metre capacity rule and 20 patron limit for beauty, nail and hair services; - Public venues such as recreation centres, outdoor playgrounds, museums, swimming pools can open with the four square metre capacity rule and 20 patron limit in place; - Universities, TAFEs and training services can reopen; - Places of worship can open with four square metre capacity rule and 20 patron limit; - Weddings and funerals can proceed with up to 20 guests; - Professional and outdoor community sports, including training, are permitted, but without spectators. Indoor community sport is not permitted; - Fitness venues including gyms, pilates, yoga, dance studios can open with four square metre capacity rule and 20 patron limit in place; - Outdoor fitness classes can resume, subject to the four square metre rule and 20 person limit. Indoor classes cannot resume under these restrictions; - No visitors to aged and disability facilities and hospitals, except for compassionate reasons and advocacy; - No visitors to residential aged care and/or disability facilities except for exceptional circumstances such as essential care, compassionate reasons, end of life and advocacy; and, - No visitors to hospitals except for compassionate reasons, end of life, accompanying a child or supporting a partner giving birth. The intrastate Perth and Peel border will removed, meaning people can travel within WA, with the exception of some remote Aboriginal communities. However, anyone who has been in Perth and Peel during the lockdown period (from Tuesday, 29 June) is subject to same mask wearing requirements and will not be allowed to visit hospitality, entertainment, recreation venues or other public gatherings until after 12:01am Tuesday 6 July. People are permitted to enter retail venues and purchase takeaway. People identified as casual contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases are not permitted to travel outside the Perth and Peel regions until 12:01am Monday 12 July, unless for essential or compassionate reasons. Regarding elective surgeries, category 2 and 3 elective surgeries have been postponed in public hospitals until Friday, 9 July. People are urged not to contact hospitals directly as they will be contacted to reschedule their appointments. Following this upcoming three-day period, further eased transitional restrictions will take effect at 12:01am 6 July, and remain in place until 12:01am Monday 12 July - pending ongoing health advice. This set of restrictions will include the following changes: - Masks will not be required outside where physical distancing is possible; - Masks will remain mandatory for indoor public venues, including in the workplace and on public transport. Exemptions apply including for medical reasons and primary school aged children or younger. People should use common sense and take a mask with them whenever they leave home; - 30 person limit will apply in all homes for indoor private gatherings and 150 person limit for outdoor private gatherings; - Two square metre capacity rule and 150 patron limit will apply to most venues, including weddings and funerals; - Indoor and outdoor community sport will be able to resume with spectators; - Indoor fitness classes can resume in line with capacity limits; - Patients in hospital, or people in aged care or a disability facility can have four personal visitors per day. Masks will remain mandatory for staff and visitors; and - Major stadiums, including Optus Stadium, RAC Arena and HBF Park will be able to operate at 50 per cent capacity. We intend for these subsequent transitional restrictions to be in place for just six days, from Tuesday through Sunday to take us through the full 14 day incubation period. Assuming everything goes well for these restrictions, and health advice permitting, we intend to take the final safe and sensible step and return to our pre-lockdown life by 12:01am Monday 12 July. It’s a quick, safe and sensible approach to keep our State safe, and get us back to the incredible freedoms that we’ve enjoyed for most of the last year. UPDATE (10:00pm): The Chief Health Officer has just provided revised health advice, which now declares that indoor fitness classes should not proceed during the interim restriction period. Outdoor classes will be permitted, and indoor classes can resume on Tuesday as part of the transitional restrictions. I know this is a challenging time for these businesses, and this is not what many wanted to hear. We apologise for the confusion and inconvenience, but we need to follow the updated health advice provided this evening.

05.01.2022 Q: Do I need to maintain an injured workers’ employment while they can’t work? A: Unless it is not reasonably practicable to return the worker to their pre-inju...ry employment or find them alternative work, you must maintain an injured worker’s employment for 12 months from the day the worker becomes entitled to receive weekly payments of compensation. If you wish to dismiss a worker of receiving compensation, there are a few steps you must take.

05.01.2022 It is a rare judge who receives a Christmas card from a prison inmate containing a cheery promise to come and see you when I get out. It’s an even rarer judge... who has fostered 60 children with his wife of almost 50 years. But NSW Drug Court his Honour Senior Judge Roger Dive makes empathy and a high-powered legal career look easy. The former magistrate, head of the NSW Children’s Court and District Court judge has opted to retire next month at the age of 68 after 32 years on the bench.
