The Victorian Department of Health has been formally charged over the state’s bungled hotel quarantine program, which saw an outbreak of the CCP virus in the southern Australian state in 2020.
WorkSafe Victoria said in a statement on Sept. 29, it had laid 58 charges against the Department of Health (DOH), including 17 breaches of Section 21 (1) of the Operational Health and Safety (OHS) Act, after the DOH was alleged to have failed to provide and maintain a safe working environment for its employees.
