Telework
Telework refers to ICT-enabled work practices undertaken where the location of the activity is independent of the location of the employer. Telework can include a range of activities performed by employees from home, including by the self-employed, and work activities performed in ‘satellite' working centres.
The Sensis Insights Teleworking Report, June 2005 and June 2007, contains survey results from SMEs and consumers concerning the use of telework arrangements in small and medium business and by individuals in Australia.
In response to the ATAC recommendations, the Government supported the development of the 
Australian Telework Online Resource Centre provides businesses and employees with information and resources to help achieve a more flexible working environment.
