COVID\u201319 \u2013 Stage 4 \u2013 Action Plan Update (6) \u2013 PPE Delivery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per our Action Plan Update (5) on August 18, we received information\nfrom the NDIS\nQuality and Safeguards Commission<\/strong> on August 14 alerting us to \u201cupdated\nVictorian DHHS guidance about eye protection and P2\/N95 respirators<\/strong>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detailed below is the latest update on our action plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – Immediate Action <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the latest DHHS guidelines (detailed in action plan (5)) all support workers at a minimum must always wear<\/strong> a surgical disposable face mask and a reusable face shield whilst on shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously advised, we have been able to\npurchase additional supplies of disposable surgical face masks and face\nshields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, after repeated requests we have now been able to access additional surgical disposable face masks from the DHHS medical stockpile which were delivered to our office today! Accordingly, we will immediately send each Hearth support worker a pack containing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 50 surgical disposable face masks<\/li>
  2. 1 face shield<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    As previously advised support workers should be able to access gloves<\/strong> from the participant as we have previously sent all participants 200 Nitrile gloves in our care pack. If you cannot access gloves whilst on shift please advise the team at Hearth on info@hearthaustralia.com.au<\/a> and we will do our best to assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also please ensure that you correctly put on, remove and dispose of your disposable face mask<\/strong> as per Victorian government guidelines detailed in this video<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2 \u2013 Follow\nup Action <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The DHHS have also\nadvised in the below \u201cPPE to use when clients have coronavirus (COVID-19)\nrisk factors\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Should a participant fall into this category we have developed an \u201cemergency care pack\u201d<\/strong> containing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Surgical masks or P2\/N95 masks<\/li>
    2. Face shield<\/li>
    3. Nitrile gloves<\/li>
    4. Disposable gowns<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      These will be\ndespatched as required. Should you require an emergency care pack please\ncontact your relationship manager as soon as you find out one is required, and\nwe will despatch it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As always, we are\nhere to help if you need any kind of assistance please do not hesitate to\ncontact me or any member of the Hearth Team and we will do our best to assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Warm Regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
