Information on our Covid-19 response
Our Covid-19 Response
At CareSavvy, your safety is our top priority, especially during the challenging times presented by COVID-19. We understand the concerns surrounding personal well-being, particularly for older individuals and those with disabilities who may be more vulnerable to the virus.
To ensure the well-being of our community, we have implemented the following measures:
Screening Questions
We request all support workers to ask the following screening questions before commencing support
a. Do you have any of the following symptoms in the past 14 days: fever, chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell, or loss of taste? (YES/NO)
b. Have you or have you been in direct contact with someone who travelled or returned from overseas or interstate in the past 14 days? (YES/NO)
c. Have you been in direct contact with someone with suspected coronavirus (COVID-19)? (YES/NO)
If the client answers "YES" to any of the questions above, face-to-face support should not be provided, and the support worker must immediately contact the CareSavvy team.
Additional Measures:
