section_headers: Residents
section_content: As we move towards a COVIDSafe Australia and
physical distancing measures are eased around the country, special
restrictions will remain in place for aged care
facilities to protect older Australians.
Residential aged care facilities will continue to restrict visits in line with
the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee advice for residential
aged care facilities.
They will also continue to postpone large group visits, gatherings, and
external excursions.
Aged care facilities will help residents stay connected with family and
friends by phone and video calls.
If you develop symptoms of COVID-19, you will be kept separate from other
people and will not be able to see visitors.
Health care and residential care workers will continue to provide support and
care for you while you are isolated.
If you need to leave your room, such as for medical care, you will be given a
surgical mask. Health care workers will provide masks to you.
Residents who are well do not need to wear a mask.
Residents admitted from other health facilities
Active screening for symptoms of COVID-19 in residents being admitted or re-
admitted from other health facilities and community settings should be
conducted. No new residents with COVID-19 compatible symptoms are permitted to
enter the facility.
Appropriate infection prevention practices should be implemented for residents
returning from treatment or care at other facilities.

The Australian Government has announced that residential aged care facilities
should take extra precautions to keep residents safe from COVID-19. Both
individuals and management need to take responsibility for the health of
visitors and staff at facilities to protect our most vulnerable community
members.
Aged care facilities will:

closely monitor the health of staff, including fever screening, where appropriate
screen new and returning residents before entry
put up signs and explain the steps they are taking to protect residents’ health

Staff should be made aware of early signs and symptoms of COVID-19. Any staff
with fever or symptoms of acute respiratory infection (for example, cough,
sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath) should be excluded from the
workplace and tested for COVID-19. Staff must report their symptoms to the
residential aged care facility.
Sick leave policies must enable employees to stay home, if they have any —
even very mild —symptoms of respiratory infection.
To make more workers available, the Government is relaxing international
student visa work conditions for aged care facilities and home care providers.
This will allow international student nurses and other aged care workers to
work more than 40 hours a fortnight. There are currently around 20,000
international student nurses studying in Australia.
