Would it be possible to get a dr’s letter to say you should work from home, do you think? It might be at least a temporary solution while getting the ndis sorted.
yeah our return to office mandate was only for those who didnt have a medical reason or whos contract doesnt state full time remote.
Did that to reduce to 1 day a week. But it doesn’t help during flare ups, at which point they want detailed medical info each time and end dates /durations/return to work plans . It doesn’t work like that unfortunately.
I just want to be productive and work - but at home so I can deal with my symptoms as needed and not be on public display. Plus the exertion of travel and being in an office all day. Sigh.
This is a good idea, to talk to your dr and get a med cert for reasonable adjustments. The reasonable adjustments being WFH full time due to an underlying disability. If you're part of a union, give them a call and talk to a rep for advice :)
