21.01.2022 The staff at Ogilvie Jennings Lawyers Glenorchy have been out again sharing the love and ensuring the children in in the area have lots to read when visiting their school libraries. Following on from the visit to Rosetta Primary School, Kirsten Siejka, from our Glenorchy office, has been on the road visiting Glenorchy Primary School and Brighton Primary School ensuring our next generation gets off to a great start.

19.01.2022 Friday was a special day for the staff at Ogilvie Jennings Lawyers Glenorchy. It was an opportunity to give a little something extra back to the community, and what better way to do that than with a donation to a local Primary school. Rosetta Primary School was chosen by staff at OJ’s to welcome back the children and staff with a donation of books and learning materials. Kirsten & Gail was on hand at Rosetta to present the donation to some very eager staff and children. COVID-19 has been a difficult time for families and the opportunities for our young children to learn and grow. Ogilvie Jennings has been committed to providing support to the community right throughout this crisis and we will continue to be there to give our children the helping hand they need for their future.

19.01.2022 Our main phone is back up and running - (03) 6235 0800. Apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused.

17.01.2022 Are you working from home? If so, are you covered by workers’ compensation? The answer is YES, provided that the injury occurs either out of or in the course of your employment. Workers’ Compensation typically covers any injuries that occur in a work-related incident. This includes injuries that happen outside of the workplace employment, as long as the employee was engaged in a work-related activity. This means that if the injury occurs because of the work you are doing (fo...r example you accidentally staple your hand to your desk), or while you are doing work (you fall off your chair reaching for the stapler) you are covered, even if the injury is your fault. Have you injured yourself while working at home and wondering if you are covered, give us a call today on (03) 6235 0800 to find out more.

17.01.2022 Happy Friday!

Helping the community is important to not just our staff but the firm in general. From fund raising to delivering books, its what this firm is all about. We are here to help, because that's what we do.
