A new Victorian report into workplace drug testing has found that employees prescribed medicinal cannabis have routinely lost their job or faced disciplinary action just for taking a legal medication – and the law must be amended to protect them.
From the 21st – 22nd of May, 2024, the Legislative Council of Victoria’s Legal and Social Issues Committee conducted public hearings for the Inquiry into Workplace Drug Testing in Victoria.
On the 30th August 2023, David Ettershank, Member for Western Metropolitan Region, rose to conclude the debate on his motion for an inquiry into workplace drug testing. He then put the question to the house and the motion was carried.
