For the purposes of this guidance, a worker who is ‘working from home’ is someone who does office-type work in their home or an equivalent location, rather than at their PCBU’s premises.

This includes an employee that works from home on a part- or full-time basis, or a contractor engaged to carry out work.

Some of the guidance will also be relevant for workers who occasionally work on-the-go from various other locations (for example, from improvised settings such as a coffee shop or airport, or on a temporary basis from a co-working space or another city).
