23.01.2022 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.

04.01.2022 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.

03.01.2022 Time to get out and have a relaxing 9 or 18 at Kingston Beach Golf Club. Our Business Manager has strategically placed a half dozen of our bottle openers on our sign at the 2nd tee for lucky golfers. He said the course was in fine form but unfortunately the ball he used thought it was at another links. Better luck next round. Pick yourself up an opener as you play through as they will not last long.
