Help us keep everyone safe
With the situation unfolding in Victoria around COVID-19, it is a timely reminder that we must stay vigilant and continue to ensure safe COVID-19 practices such as good hand hygiene, social distancing and not visiting when you are unwell or have been to any venues of concern.
NSW Health has advised that visitors must not enter residential aged care facilities at all if they:
- have been in Victorian places of high concern in the last 14 days
- have been in Greater Melbourne or the City of Greater Bendigo in the previous 14 days
- have been to any close or casual contact locations in NSW or New Zealand
- have COVID-19 symptoms – fever (37. 5°C or higher) or symptoms of COVID-19
- are a close contact of a person with confirmed COVID-19 and are within their self-isolation period
- live in a household with a person who is currently self-isolating
- are waiting for a COVID-19 test result
We thank you for your understanding and helping us to keep everyone safe.
Flu vaccine requirement
NSW Health have provided a directive that from 1 June to 30 September 2021, all visitors and staff entering a residential aged care facility in NSW are required to provide evidence that they received a dose of the 2021 influenza vaccination.
This means that if you visit a Whiddon care home from 1 June until 30 September, you will be required to bring evidence of your 2021 influenza vaccination to the care home. There are some exemptions to this which are outlined in the influenza vaccine medical contraindication form.
Case Conferences
If at any time you would like to discuss your loved ones care, please feel free to make contact with a team member so that we can organise a Case Conference with you.
Reminder to book your visits
