Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: COVID-19: Cyber security tips when working from home
section_headers: Cyber security tips
Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
section_content: Here are nine things you can do in your new working environment to protect
your work and your household’s cyber security.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections are a popular method to connect
portable devices to a work network. VPNs secure your web browsing and remote
network access.
Sometimes organisations specify that you use a VPN on work devices. If this is
the case, you should familiarise yourself with your organisation’s VPN
requirements, policies and procedures.
For more information on VPNs see advice from the Canadian Centre for Cyber
Security:

Using Virtual Private Networks.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Provides information about improving cyber security when working from home, but doesn't describe different methods of remote work.
This response only talks about using VPNs in a remote setting. It does not cover how to obtain a remote position.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Working from home during COVID-19
section_headers: Shortcut method
section_content: You can claim a deduction of 80 cents for each hour you work from home due to
COVID-19 as long as you are:

working from home to fulfil your employment duties and not just carrying out minimal tasks such as occasionally checking emails or taking calls
incurring additional deductible running expenses as a result of working from home.

You do not have to have a separate or dedicated area of your home set aside
for working, such as a private study.
The shortcut method rate covers all deductible running expenses, including:

electricity for lighting, cooling or heating and running electronic items used for work (for example your computer), and gas heating expenses
the decline in value and repair of capital items, such as home office furniture and furnishings
cleaning expenses
your phone costs, including the decline in value of the handset
your internet costs
computer consumables, such as printer ink
stationery
the decline in value of a computer, laptop or similar device.

You do not have to incur all of these expenses, but you must have incurred
additional expenses in some of those categories as a result of working from
home due to COVID-19.
If you use the shortcut method to claim a deduction for your additional
running expenses, you cannot claim a further deduction for any of the expenses
listed above.
You must keep a record of the number of hours you have worked from home as a
result of COVID-19. Examples are timesheets, diary notes or rosters.
If you use the shortcut method to claim a deduction and you lodge your 2019–20
tax return through myGov or a tax agent, you must include the note ‘ COVID-
hourly rate’ in your tax return.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Talks about tax deductions available to people who work from home, but doesn't list ways to work from home like asked.
While the response tells you how to handle a remote position's taxes, it does not advise you at all about how to obtain a remote position.
