COVID Update for CEB Staff

Working Onsite

Following Premier Daniel Andrews’ announcement this morning, whilst lockdown restrictions have been significantly eased, if you can work from home, you must continue work from home.

As of 11.59pm this evening, 25% of office workers can return, or up to 10 people if total workplace is 40 or less, with a density quotient of 1 person per 4 sqm.

If there is an essential reason to visit the office, please discuss this with your Team Leader.

Working in Schools

Whilst schools are returning to normal operations tomorrow, we request that staff minimise school contact for the remainder of this week, supporting schools remotely where needed.

If there is an essential reason to visit a school, please discuss this with your Team Leader.

Please refer to today’s Executive Director’s COVID Update #39 for further information pertaining to schools.

Facemasks

A reminder that facemasks remain mandatory for both indoor and outdoor settings anywhere other than your home (unless an exemption applies).

The updated Table of Restrictions is now available, and is applicable as of 11.59pm this evening.
