How will we be managing cases if they enter any of our workplaces?

We will be following the State Government guidelines and following our own COVID-19 Response Plan, which is located in Employment Hero.

Please be aware that this means in the event of a case at one of our sites we may need to close temporarily and ask all staff to isolate at home, get a test and may request face masks for a period of time.

At this time we are not requesting mandatory vaccination from our staff but cannot speak for each of our clients.

‍Please liaise with your client directly or with support from your principal consultant. If you have any concerns, please discuss these immediately with our Head of Customer Experience by emailing Kristy.brown@theprojectlab.com.  

We realise that this is an unusual event to be planning for and that this increased risk our state is taking on provides a lot of uncertainty and in some cases, fear for those of us with older or immunocompromised loved ones. We ask that everyone consider this when communicating among our organisation, our community and doing whatever you canto help support each other as we make this significant transition.
