Following a case of community transmission of COVID-19 in Perth, the WA Department of Health has mandated a hard lockdown of the Perth metropolitan, Peel and South West regions from 6pm Sunday 31 January 2021 to 6pm Friday 5 February 2021.

As always, our priority is the safety and wellbeing of our customers and staff.

To comply with WA Department of Health guidelines, Activ will temporarily be closing all our services, except for our accommodation houses and essential community drop in supports, in the Perth metro, Peel and South West regions. Visits to our accommodation sites are not permitted at this time, unless under exceptional circumstances. This will come in to effect at 6pm on Sunday 31/01/2021 and last for the mandated five-day lockdown.

Customers who are scheduled to receive drop in supports will be contacted shortly. If a customer’s support is considered essential, for example, personal care or assistance with cooking, customers may still choose to receive a visit from an Activ staff member, who will be wearing a face mask. Customers in this circumstance are encouraged to wear a face mask also.

As the direction from the WA Department of Health states that everyone must wear a mask if they are attending a work premises, we decided that it would not be feasible to keep our employment and community sites open during this time. We understand that this news will not be pleasing to everyone but this is the safest way to ensure our community remains free of COVID-19. We also want to give people time be tested, if necessary.

The WA Department of Health is urgently requesting anyone who visited the exposure sites during the specific times listed in the link below, to isolate and get tested immediately. The initial list of exposure sites is centred mainly in Maylands, a suburb in Perth’s inner northeast. For the full list, click here.
