COVID Safety

In the following scenarios, team members cannot attend work if they have:

If they have returned from a COVID-19 hotspot

Team members who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness are recommended to stay home and not come to work until they are free of fever (37.8° C] or greater using an oral thermometer), signs of a fever, and any other symptoms for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medicines (e.g. cough suppressants). Team members should notify their direct Manager and stay home if they are sick.

Team members can attend work if they are a household close contact but must undertake a daily Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) and wear a mask at all times whilst at work for the 7 days since the close contact. If you test positive you should not attend work.

Team members who are in isolation due to one of the above situations should alert their direct Manager. Depending on the type of work, and providing the team member is well, flexible work options from home may be offered but this will be determined on a case-by-case basis. If working from home is not viable the team member will be able to access Personal Carer’s Leave or Annual Leave entitlements.
