Hearth COVID-19 \u2013 19 \u201c<\/strong>CIRCUIT BREAKER ACTION\u201d Action Plan 12\/2\/21<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n In response to the Victorian Premiers announcement today we have updated our Action Plan as follows. (please click here to view the Premiers full statement<\/a> )<\/p>\n Re Business Continuity <\/strong><\/p>\n We are continuing to deliver the essential service of disability support and are taking every step to maintain the safety of our participants and support workers.<\/p>\n Please do not hesitate to contact us on 1800 894 013<\/strong> should you require assistance<\/p>\n Re Community Access<\/strong><\/p>\n The most significant change has been the introduction of lockdown restrictions (please click here for the table of restrictions<\/a>)<\/p>\n However, the NDIS has suggested that providers allow people with disability to have permissible community access for essential supports (such as exercising or attending medical appointments).<\/p>\n Re Support Worker use of PPE<\/strong><\/p>\n There have been no changes to the use of PPE by Support Workers therefore as previously advised at a minimum they must always wear a surgical disposable face mask whilst on shift.<\/p>\n If you require additional face masks, please advise the Hearth team by emailing info@hearthaustralia.com.au<\/a> or calling 1800 894 013<\/strong> and we will do our best to assist.<\/p>\n Re Shift Cancellations<\/strong><\/p>\n Please note any shift cancellations during lockdown will fall under NDIS cancellation guidelines<\/p>\n
