Hi all,

The DHHS updated the requirements for the movements of HCW during a pandemic guideline on 22/9/21 (see attached for anyone interested).

Western Health have updated their checklist accordingly, and I have just updated the Austin check-in form to match. 3 days off and a negative COVID swab 48hrs prior are no longer required at these sites. Instead, you must declare that you are vaccinated, N95 fit-tested and compliant with the COVID-19 surveillance screening processes at your own hospitals as is expected of all high-risk workers.

I hope this makes it easier for everyone. If other sites update their requirements, we will update it here too.

Thanks,
Emily Harman.
