Infectious Disease Leave. Full-time and part time Employees working in the Council’s Children’s Services Facilities may not be able to attend work if they are diagnosed with a range of infectious diseases/conditions. If the Children’s Services Manager is satisfied there has been an infectious disease/condition identified in the Council’s Children’s Services facilities and a full-time or part-time Employee is subsequently diagnosed with that infection and unable to attend work the Council will grant an additional three continuous days paid personal leave to that Employee on each occasion. Casual Employees are not entitled to this form of leave. The infectious diseases to be covered by this Clause are defined by the National Health and Medical Research Council document “Recommended minimum exclusion periods”. A Government mandated quarantine period due to an outbreak of Measles is exempted from this Clause. If this mandate is issued, affected Children’s Services Employees will be eligible to paid leave in accordance with the Public Health Act. Grants of infectious diseases leave require the Employee to present a medical certificate that identifies the infectious disease/condition on each occasion they are diagnosed. Other forms of evidence (e.g. Statutory Declaration or Pharmacists Certificate) are not accepted for this leave type. This form of leave is uncapped and does not affect the Employee’s personal leave accrual and can be accessed multiple times each year. For absences greater than three days the Employee will be required to use their accrued personal leave.

Infectious Disease Leave a. Infectious Illness leave is available for employees who contract an infectious illness* requiring an isolation period which is likely to have been as a direct result of exposure to the illness in the course of their duties. This includes having worked with a resident/s either in the home or during a one-on-one shift, who has had an infectious illness which was passed on to the employee. It also includes if there is an outbreak of illness at the site the employee is working at where there are two or more confirmed cases of the same infectious illness within 48 hours and is contracted by an employee. Employees who contract an infectious illness requiring an isolation period from work will be granted one occurrence per year of paid leave of up to 5 days (pro rata for part time). b. Given this leave type is in addition to personal leave, this leave type requires the employee to have a face to face or telehealth consultation with a General Practitioner to obtain a Victorian issued Medical Certificate. The certificate must include details of the infectious illness, the required isolation period and confirmation that the employee has contracted the illness which is likely to be attributable to an infection at the workplace. In determining applications for infectious illness leave the delegate must be satisfied that there have been recent cases of the infectious disease in the workplace and that it is probable that the employee has been exposed to that disease.
