From Friday 14 October 2022, it is no longer mandatory to isolate if you test positive to COVID-19.
The removal of mandatory isolation does not impact on the duties of an employer to do all that is reasonably practicable to minimise the risks of COVID-19 at the workplace, including asking workers to stay at home when unwell.

Cleaning your workplace
COVID-19 spreads through droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
People can get COVID-19 by touching a surface that has germs on it.
Ensure your workplace is cleaned at least daily with detergent and water.
Once a surface is clean, you can disinfect it.
Prioritise cleaning surfaces that are frequently touched.
If you have a case of COVID-19 at work, your workplace will need to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before people can return.
