Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Mechanically, this Notice declares certain unpaid CSIRO volunteers to be ‘employees’ of the Commonwealth for the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 when they assist CSIRO at specified facilities. It affects volunteers who operate under the control or direction of a Commonwealth officer and the Commonwealth/CSIRO, because those volunteer acts will be treated as employment for workers’ compensation and rehabilitation purposes. This matters because it assigns legal coverage and potential employer responsibility while preserving non‑remuneration except reimbursement of expenses.
