Summary:
The claimant voluntarily left her employment as she was travelling to Australia and New Zealand on a work-holiday visa and planned to be away for two years. She returned unexpectedly to care for her brother who was diagnosed with Cancer. When she returned from her trip, she applied for benefits but the Commission refused on the ground she did not have just cause to leave her employment to travel abroad even on a work permit. The appeal by the Commission is allowed by the Umpire.
