COVID-19 Information

Australia continues to experience outbreaks of COVID-19. The virus spread quickly across the world, and this is likely to continue. Australia has been relatively successful in minimising the rate of infection, but many people have already become very ill, and some have died. To keep Australians safe, we will need to continue working together to keep the spread of COVID-19 contained.

COVID-19 can cause respiratory infections, ranging from the common cold to more serious diseases. Older Australians (people age 60+), especially those with pre-existing medical conditions, and people with compromised immune systems, are among those at risk of the more serious symptoms of Coronavirus.

Even if you are feeling well it is important to take steps to prevent the spread of this virus. Good hygiene, and taking care when interacting with other people, are the best defences for you and your family against COVID-19.
