COVID Reminders for CEB Staff

In light of the Premier's snap lockdown announcement yesterday afternoon, all CEB employees must work from home until next Friday 13 August or until otherwise advised.

Any staff who were intending to visit schools prior to this date will need to reschedule and consider a plan if the lockdown is extended, unless you are offering wellbeing or health support related to students.

Otherwise if there is an essential reason to visit the office or a school, please discuss this with your Team Leader.

A reminder that face masks are still mandatory for both indoor and outdoor settings anywhere other than your home (unless an exemption applies).

Please continue to refer to our Executive Director's COVID Updates for further information pertaining to schools.
