Additions have been made to the Authorised Provider and Authorised Worker list.
Solo outdoor services related to building and construction have been added to the Authorised Provider and Authorised Worker list.
From 11:59pm on Monday, August 9, solo outdoor services are permitted where physical distancing can be maintained. This applies to businesses with an ABN providing the following services:
- Outdoor maintenance, repairs, cleaning and other building work, including at occupied premises.
- Home renovations and installations (outdoor only)
- Home solar panel installations (only for outdoor work or in roof cavities with external access).
This means businesses with an ABN can resume an outdoor service in occupied premises when it can be carried out by a single worker and physical distancing from occupants can be maintained at all times.
More information is available on coronavirus.vic.gov.au on the current restrictions for businesses in metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.
