I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincerest thanks to our customers and the community for your patience and understanding through this challenging period.

All services

Visits to all sites must be considered essential. Visitors need to complete a health survey upon arrival and follow standard hygiene protocols.

Transport of customers

Travel in vehicles must still align with the WorkSafe’s ‘Safe Transport during the COVID Pandemic’. A safety checklist will need to be completed by staff before each trip. This will help to ensure each trip is both essential and conducted safely. To view the safety checklist, click here.

Activ vehicles and work use of private staff vehicles are permitted to have two passengers per row of seats however, passengers must be positioned to ensure maximum spacing between individuals.

Multiple residents can have visitors simultaneously, but appropriate physical distancing must be maintained at all times and families/carers should still contact sites to book visits in advance.
