Employer Policy Pack
Last verified:
A bespoke policy redraft from a law firm runs to thousands of dollars and weeks of back-and-forth. This pack is the working version of that engagement: every document a medicinal-cannabis-ready program needs, drafted from the clauses the decided cases actually turned on, ready to adapt today — with a briefing page that makes your lawyer’s final review a one-hour job instead of a drafting project.
Core pack — $299 · 9 documents
- Drug & Alcohol Policy (full text, medicinal-cannabis-ready). Complete policy with definitions, roles and responsibilities, contractor coverage — and all three standards drafted in full (detection cut-offs / impairment-based / hybrid) so you delete two rather than write one. Includes the ongoing-disclosure clause from Haigh, the assessment pathway that answers discrimination risk, and the safety-valve working-arrangement route the Commission pointed to in Gauci.
- Medication disclosure form — privacy-minimal by design: collects the safety-relevant facts, deliberately excludes diagnosis and history.
- Fitness-for-work risk assessment — the documented case-by-case assessment that is simultaneously your safety case and your discrimination defence.
- Written working arrangement template — the agreement that records dosing-timing, duties and review dates once a prescription is disclosed and assessed.
- Manager conversation scripts ×4 — disclosure meeting, non-negative result, confirmed-result disciplinary meeting, and the “a colleague raised a concern” conversation. What to say, and the sentences that create liability.
- Testing procedure checklist — standards matching (the Parks kit-mismatch trap), sealed kits, validity windows, chain of custody, confirmatory laboratory testing, declared-medication routing.
- Consultation & rollout pack — HSR consultation record, all-staff announcement email, and a 5-minute toolbox talk script, because an unconsulted policy is a cross-examination waiting to happen.
- Policy acknowledgement form — the signature that made half the cases in our database winnable for the employer.
- FWC lessons brief — the full database distilled into two pages for whoever signs the policy off, from Toms to the 2025 matters.
PRO — $499 · everything above plus 5 more
- Disciplinary letter suite — stand-down letter, allegations/show-cause letter, warning outcome letter, termination outcome letter, and an investigation plan template. Procedurally fair wording at the exact moments employers improvise.
- State-by-state legal annex — the WHS act, discrimination act and workers compensation notes for all eight jurisdictions, so one national policy rolls out without eight legal memos.
- Industry add-on schedules ×8 — ready-made sections for mining & FIFO, transport, rail, aviation, construction, maritime, healthcare and general workplaces, aligned to each regime.
- Testing provider procurement kit — RFQ email template and an evaluation scorecard so the program you buy matches the policy you wrote.
- Supervisor training outline — a 12-part session plan turning the scripts and checklist into a one-hour training your leaders can run.

Sample — from the disclosure clause (document 1):
“A worker who takes any medication that may affect the safe performance of their duties — including any medicinal cannabis product, and specifically any product containing THC — must disclose this in writing to [nominated role]: (a) before commencing or returning to affected duties; and (b) again whenever the medication, product, dose or pattern of use changes, ceases, or resumes. Disclosure of the underlying medical condition is not required. Disclosure triggers the assessment process in clause 5, not automatic disciplinary action.”
Every document in the pack is drafted to this standard — complete sentences you can deploy, not bullet-point prompts you still have to write.

Why not a free template?
Free generic D&A templates rarely mention medicinal cannabis, and none contain the clauses this site’s case database shows decisions turning on: the ongoing disclosure duty, the post-disclosure assessment pathway, the working-arrangement safety valve, standards-matched testing procedure, and consultation records. The pack exists because those clauses are exactly the ones you cannot improvise after the non-negative result arrives.
Templates and general information, not legal advice. Have the final policy
reviewed by your adviser before enforcement relies on it — the lessons brief is written to make that
review fast.
Not legal advice. This page explains the law in general terms as at the “last verified” date shown. If you have been stood down or dismissed, or need to make a decision that depends on the law, speak to an employment lawyer — small differences in circumstances change outcomes, and the 21-day unfair dismissal deadline does not wait.
