Carers WA COVID-19 Update – 1st February 2022

The health and safety of carers, their families and the wider community is the highest priority for Carers WA.

As of 1st February, proof of vaccination will be required to enter any Carers WA premise, to receive in-person services, and to attend any Carers WA workshop or event.

Carers WA are committed to complying with the State Government’s vaccination and mask policies and will continue to follow government directives as WA prepares for the challenges ahead. We will continue to work on ways to minimise impacts wherever possible, both to our team and the carers and community we support.
