Qantas has actually safeguarded its choice not to permit cabin team who established COVID-19 after being stood down access to their accrued sick leave privileges, arguing there is “no task for them to be ill from” and that a lot of them ended up being infected while on vacations.

- The company is not offering sick leave entitlements to stood-down staff who later develop COVID-19
- Qantas’s medical director stated the majority of stood-down staff with the infection were contaminated while on vacations
