Support During Covid-19

27th June 2021

As the number of cases of Covid-19 climbs in the Sydney region and social restrictions once again change in NSW, The Space Newcastle would like to assure you that protecting the health and wellness of every person we support, their families and our staff is a top priority during this time.

At this stage we will continue to offer support to our participants and our centres will remain open, but with some important procedures in place that have been developed from our Covid-19 Safety Plan and in response to current social restrictions:

    • All individuals within our buildings will be strongly encouraged to wear masks.
    • Only staff and scheduled participants will be allowed in our centres and will be asked to check in/out. Visitors will be discouraged from entering.
    • We will complete regular temperature checking of all individuals within the building. Anyone with a fever will be asked to go home.
    • All participants, visitors and staff members are to maintain social distancing procedures.
    • All participants, visitors and staff members are encouraged to maintain good hand washing and cough/sneeze etiquette. Hand sanitiser is always available and other Personal Protective Equipment, such as gloves and masks, are available on request.
    • Anyone who is unwell is asked to stay at home until all symptoms have resolved.
    • Anyone with flu-like symptoms, such as a fever, cough, sore throat, will be asked to remain at home and complete a Covid-19 screening test. The individual will not be able to return to The Space Newcastle until symptoms have resolved and the test has been confirmed as negative.
    • Anyone who has visited the Greater Sydney region, Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Wollongong since the 21st June will not be allowed to enter any of our buildings and should be abiding stay-at-home orders.

We will continue to monitor and respond to current Government regulations and advice. If you have any questions about our services during this time, please contact us on 0423 847 780 or krystal@thespacenewcastle.com.
