Australians Working Overseas: FWA Coverage

The FWA and Australians Working Overseas: How Far Does Our Workplace Legislation Extend Beyond Australia? As businesses increasingly engage employees who live and work outside Australia, understanding the reach of Australian workplace laws has never been more important. In this podcast Andrew Douglas and Jim Babalis explore the circumstances in which overseas-based employees may still be covered by the Fair Work Act, safety, workers’ compensation and other workplace laws. We also discuss how there can be dual obligations with the country of residence further complicating people management. Join us as we examine how far Australia's workplace laws can extend beyond our borders and what employers need to know when managing an increasingly global workforce.
