Authorised Worker Travel Permit

From Saturday 28 August 2021 all Authorised Workers, which includes all Whiddon Employees who work in Residential Aged Care and Community Care need to register their travel within NSW if they are:

  • An authorised worker living in a local government area (LGA) of concern and need to leave their area for work; or
  • They are entering an LGA of concern to carry out work in the area of concern

If you are a Support Services employee and need to travel to the Glenfield offices during lockdown as you cannot complete your work from home then you will also need to register your travel.

Travel registration can be completed by visiting Service NSW. Once the travel registration is complete you will receive an Authorised Worker Travel Permit which is only valid for 14 days at which time you will need to reapply for the permit.
