Over the weekend, the Chief Medical Officer has declared all of New South Wales a hotspot. This means that all NSW aged care facilities are able to access Commonwealth funding to support workers to limit their work to a single aged care workplace. For those new areas this will be in place until at least 28 August.

The Single Site Program is a voluntary scheme to support workers and employers in these areas to work at one aged care facility and not be financially worse off.

A factsheet about how this works can be viewed at this link.

You can also access more detailed information about how it works here:
