Telework: the Australian way

By Kylie McIntosh
Recognising the need for contemporary workplace practice policies, the Australian Government has developed a very useful site for employees and employers. The Telework Australia site is devoted to exploring the various myths and questions surrounding working from home.

Offering guidelines, checklists and templates for organisations on how to implement flexible workplace arrangements as well as occupational health and safety issues and virtual team management advice it is a one-stop shop for those investigating working from home.

The site also provides a handy series of questions and answers relating to the topic. They cover a range of themes including how to start working from home and the technology you will require; policies for flexible working arrangements and a host of additional issues including the tax implications of working from home.
