About this episode

What do you do if you’ve lost a job as a result of a natural disaster like the recent bushfires? It could be that the business itself has closed or that there is no longer work available for you; so where do you turn to for support? Host and financial journalist Ross Greenwood speaks to the Assistant Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, Liam O’Brien, about where people can go for help if they have lost the ability to work, what their rights are regarding pay and leave, and who to contact for advice about having lost a job due to natural disaster.
