Catch my disease - COVID-19 and workers' compensation liability for employers
10 June 2020| 
James works with self-insurers in Victoria to effectively manage their statutory class issues and claims. Where incidents also have safety or industrial relations implications, he works closely with our Workplace Group to provide a complete legal solution for our clients.
Maxine assists various government agencies and public sector clients with workplace risks, incidents and disputes. Working across our Government, Workplace and Statutory Lines practice groups, she leads our State Compensation team in Canberra.
In this podcast, James Johnson and Maxine Feletti provide a workers’ compensation liability perspective on COVID-19. Topics discussed include whether COVID-19 will be an injury or disease; when an employer is liable if a worker contracts the virus; liability and insurance issues with WFH arrangements; and top tips for transitioning workers back into the workplace - while also managing those who remain at home.
