Happy COVIDSafe Summer

An overview for a COVIDSafe summer in Victoria from HR Staff n' Stuff.


​As we slide into Christmas after the most extraordinary and challenging year most of us have ever experienced, it’s a relief to see Australia’s hard work in managing Covid-19 is paying off with borders, retail and entertainment opening up and workplaces coming back to life.  It means we can all look at 2021 with more optimism than we could have imagined.  Even Victoria, who has done it toughest of all, is coming back to life with more restrictions lifting as announced over the weekend and we have a quick summary for you…


COVIDSafe Summer
In Victoria, CovidSafe Summer refers to the application of Covid restrictions that are in place to keep us all safe and commenced at 11:59pm, 6 December 2020.  Below we will also highlight a couple of changes that will come into place as of 11 January 2021.

FACEMASKS
The requirement to wear facemasks has been reduced significantly but the long and short of what you need to know is:
  • You must carry one with you at all times
  • Only mandatory to wear on public transport while in taxis or ride share vehicles, shopping centres, supermarkets and department stores.
  • Strongly recommended indoors and outdoors when you can’t keep 1.5m distance from others.
  • This extends to the office so if you can remain socially distanced, you do not have to wear a facemask at your desk.   We know that will make a lot of people happy!

OFFICE
  • You can have up to 25% of your workforce on site now.  If you have fewer than 40 people, you can have up to 10 people on site.
  • From 11 January 2021, you will be able to have 50% of your workforce on site.  For those with fewer than 40 people, you can have 20 people on site.  So yes, if you have 20 employees, you can have 20 employees back in the office!
 
Keep up the messaging as to hand washing and staying home if unwell and make sure you have sanitiser on hand for employees and visitors.  Ensure you are on top of record keeping (electronic in some) if your industry requires (e.g.  retail, hospitality, etc) and if you are in anyway unsure about your COVIDSafe plan, make sure you contact the HR Staff n’ Stuff team as a matter of priority and we will help you get sorted.
 
The HR Staff n’ Stuff team are here to help whenever you need for all your HR needs so call or email to find out more.  In the meantime, here’s to a safe and healthy summer for all Australians!
