current covid restrictions
(updated 03-10-2024)
Although the isolation requirement for those contracting COVID in the general community has now ceased, any confirmed COVID-19 cases must not attend Pinarc sites or services for 5 days and are symptom free. At Pinarc, we are committed to safely supporting our customers and will allow customers to return to our Group Programs after 5-days as long as they are symptom free. As always, we continue to monitor the situation closely and will review our guidelines if we see any increase in COVID cases in the community or experience any exposure risks at our sites.
ALO Group Programs:
- Customers who have tested positive to COVID-19 may return to group programs after a 5-day period providing they are symptom free
- If you have any cold symptoms please get tested and do not attend group programs
Therapy, Support Coordination and Plan Management:
- The current Public health advice is if you have tested positive to COVID it is recommended you remain at home for 5 days
- Pinarc request that if you are COVID-19 positive or have symptoms you contact us to reschedule your appointment or we can change it to teletherapy if appropriate
We care deeply about the health and wellbeing of our staff, customers, their families and carers, and note that our staff are required to not attend their workplace for 5 days after a positive COVID-19 result under current public health information. Different program areas will be impacted in different ways during this time and we will do our best to communicate these changes when they arise.
We are here to support you where we can and if you have any queries or feedback, please don’t hesitate to contact Sara Cavanagh, Deputy CEO on 0488 182 440.
