Getting Businesses Tooled Up To Return

THE Prime Minister said National Cabinet is aiming to get one million Australians back to work to help mobilise the economy, while escalating state based testing to detect covid-19 cases early and effectively.

The government has launched new tools on Safe Work Australia to equip employers and workers to ensure their workplaces are as safe as possible during the pandemic.

The Prime Minister said the economic costs of the pandemic is $4 billion each week.

“Thousands of Australian lives have been saved when you look at how coronavirus has impacted so many other countries around the world,” said Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

“It has come at a cost and that cost will continue so long as we have Australians in a position where they are unable to open their businesses and able to go back to their offices, children unable to go back to school and the many restrictions that are in place,” he said.

“We now need to get one million Australians back to work that is the curve we need to address,” Scott Morrison said.
