Dear Residents, Families and Friends

NSW and QLD Health has announced that masks are no longer required to be worn by employees or visitors unless there are moderate or high levels of respiratory viruses circulating in the community. As respiratory virus levels are currently low, we have informed our Teams that masks can be removed from today.

We will continue to remain vigilant in keeping our residents and employees safe and healthy, and have updated our guidelines below.

I’m sure you will agree it will be so wonderful for our residents and employees to see each other’s smiling faces again!
