COVID-19 guidelines

HammondCare’s priority is to maintain and protect the health and wellbeing of residents, clients, patients, staff and volunteers. 

HammondCare has taken a measured, intelligent approach to the very real risks presented by COVID-19 and has closely followed the directives and guidelines of the Australian and State governments.

  • Patient and visitor screening through trained screening staff
  • Training in, and enhanced use of, appropriate PPE and infection control measures
  • Signage to encourage safe infection control practices; this is reinforced through QSR audits
  • Enhanced provision of hand sanitiser and increased cleaning processes, especially in high-touch areas
  • Increased precautionary testing of staff, patients and visitors as required
  • Introducing visitor restrictions where necessary and appropriate
  • Developing clear escalation processes and decision frameworks for complex COVID-19 scenarios – balanced with necessary flexibility and a compassionate approach
  • Targeted staff training (e.g. on use of personal protective equipment and infection control measures)
  • Facilitation of increased staff testing for COVID-19 and vaccination (see below for further information)
  • Procurement and rapid dissemination of necessary resources (e.g. face masks, shields, gowns, goggles, gloves and hand sanitisers)
  • Liaison and partnership with government and peak bodies (e.g. in the interpretation of public health orders and in organising on-site testing and vaccination)
  • Implementation of screening processes (e.g. for clients, residents, patients, families, staff and volunteers)
  • Additional cleaning practices (e.g. in our hospitals and residential services)
  • Regular communication updates to relevant stakeholders.
