It is important for staff & contractors entering your home to access a safe work environment. We will ask some questions about yourself and your home to ensure safety for staff.

• Please identify any hazards to staff
• Have you developed a cough, fever or been in contact with anyone who has tested positive to the Corona Virus. – please call our team as soon as possible.
• Staff are entitled to work in an environment free from aggression or violence
• All animals MUST be secured either in a yard or another room
• NO smoking during staff attendance
• Shoes can‘t be removed when entering the home

Please ensure you notify our staff/contractors promptly of any need to cancel or change the timing of visits. Any late cancellation is a cost to our program and will limit our capacity to provide support for others.
Only essential services are provided on public holidays and weekends. The PAC Coordinator will discuss a plan with you, if you are affected.
