A copy of Professor Stewart's presentation provides valuable background of the decision in the Workpac Pty Ltd v. Rossato case. A full recording of the seminar with questions will be available shortly. APTIA has also written a paper on the implications of the decision which can be found here.
APTIA is obtaining written legal advices and also monitoring the outcome of potential legislation from the A-G's Round table discussions and potential challenges to the Rossato decision. The BIC Media Release can be viewed here.
APTIA will call an IWG meeting over the next few weeks to consider the advices and a further response. In the meantime APTIA recommends that members seek their own legal advices and follow further information provided from State Associations and from the BIC.
The Passenger Vehicle Transportation Award 2020 will commence from 13 April 2020.
