MGA TMA sends its sympathies to all the retailers, their families and their communities who have been adversely affected by the recent widespread devastating bushfires. We are confident that all those affected by these horrendous weather conditions will rebuild their lives and their businesses and we wish you all well for the better times ahead.

Unfortunately, there are always repercussions that need to be considered in these situations. Issues such as paid and unpaid leave that may be available to staff  and also any staff that might wish to take community service leave.   MGA TMA has compiled a short summary of the impact of the recent bushfires on employee entitlements and conditions.
