Single site arrangements extended for ACT aged care facilities
-
Published September 16, 2021
Last night, the Department of Health extended the Single Site Program across ACT aged care facilities. In this new announcement the Single Site Program will continue until there are no cases in residents or staff in residential aged care facilities, and community transmission is considered lower risk for two weeks. When this occurs, the Department will issue advice of a two-week transition period to allow for rosters to be adjusted.
This is a change in the way the Single Site Program has operated in the past, where a date had been set. The Health Services Union will continue to provide members with up-to-date information about transitional arrangements.
Our number one priority is making sure you and your colleagues are safe and supported. If you or your colleagues have any questions about the Single Site Program or any other matter, please contact your local HSU Organiser or Delegate, our HSU Member Services Division on 1300 478 679, or email [E-Mail not displayed].
