Earlier this evening FTA attended a meeting hosted by Victoria Department of Transport - Freight Victoria
Authorised Worker in the freight and logistics sector has been confirmed to be included in the formal directions under Clause 9 subsection 21
In short any worker who is on site at the moment is doing so under the auspices of being categorised as an Authorised Worker and is now required to duly follow this direction as of October 15
FTA will continue to keep members up to date on pertinent developments.
