Information about COVID-19 - Update 22nd December 2020
Outlook has returned to normal operation but with the necessary health measures around COVID-19.
Disability Gateway
The Disability Information Helpline has now transitioned to the Disability Gateway. People with disability can contact the Disability Gateway about COVID-19 issues and speak to someone who understands their needs about disability-specific matters. The Disability Gateway number (1800 643 787) is the same as the Disability Information helpline number, so there will be no disruption of service or inconvenience for people with disability.
More information about the Disability Gateway, as well as a range of accessible COVID-19 resources, is available at www.disabilitygateway.gov.au
The Disability Gateway is for all Australians with disability, whether they are a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participant or not.

Exercising social distancing measures
Social distancing includes staying at home when unwell, avoiding large public gatherings if they’re not essential, keeping a distance of 1.5 metres with other people whenever possible and minimising physical contact especially with people at higher risk of developing serious symptoms, such as older people and people with existing health conditions.
Following self-isolation measures
All people who arrive in Australia from midnight 15 March 2020 or think may they have been in close contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus, are required to self-isolate for 14 days.
