26 August 2021 - COVID-19 Staff Vaccinations Update - Call Customer Service to Resume Home Care Services
Catholic Healthcare is pleased to advise that all our Community Workers across NSW will have received their first COVID-19 vaccine by the end of this week.
This is in addition to the majority of Community Workers and Care Advisors who are already fully vaccinated for COVID-19 in the Sydney area.
You need two doses of COVID-19 vaccine for maximum protection, but according to the Australian Department of Health even a single dose provides protection (by more than 70%) against hospitalisation and greatly reduces transmission. Read more>
In addition to the COVID-19 vaccination, our staff have comprehensive infection control protocols in place consistent with Government advice to minimise risk for clients and staff. Protocols include mandatory mask wearing; pre-visit screening; staff training on infection control and handwashing; and reminding staff to stay home when they are unwell.
If you would like assistance to organise your own COVID-19 vaccination our staff can provide support in booking appointments as well as transport to and from the vaccination clinic or GP.
It’s important you continue to receive your essential Home Care services for your wellbeing. Our Community Workers are authorised by NSW Health to deliver essential services such as domestic assistance, grocery deliveries and clinical services to support our Home Care Package and Commonwealth Home Support Programme clients.
Please call our Customer Care Team on 1800 225 474 to resume your Home Care services.
We are here to support you to stay safe and well.
