This came into effect at 1201am this morning (29 June 2021) and, at this stage, will end at 1201am Saturday 3 July 2021.

This means:
- In our disability homes, visits are prohibited unless for essential care, compassionate reasons, end of life and advocacy. If you fit these criteria, please phone your Program Lead.
- Please note if someone meets the criteria for a visit they still must comply by all other visiting guidelines, including visits taking place in a resident’s room, social distancing and hand hygiene, wearing of a mask and completing a health declaration by signing in via Zipline on arrival.
- In lieu of an in-person visit, video and telephone calls are available to you. Please phone your site to arrange this.
We know this is hard on everyone, and we thank you for your ongoing patience. I want to reassure you that we take the care of our residents very seriously and are doing all we can to keep them safe.
We will continue to keep you updated.
Stay safe,
Jennifer Lawrence, CEO
