Carers Queensland COVID-19 update – 31 January 2022
To minimise the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) we have made the decision to temporarily close our offices to the general public until Monday 28 February 2022.
During these uncertain times, we are committed to ensuring the health and safety of our carers, participants, staff, their families, and the community in general.
Please note that our teams are now working remotely, and we are here to support you throughout this challenging period.
We have a range of options to connect with you, depending on your preference, such as telephone, email, and video.
We are monitoring the situation daily and we will continue to adapt our operations accordingly.
We will continue to take guidance from public health authorities and as more information comes to light, we will keep you informed.
