Infection Control
CTD supporters and staff adhere to the various state and territory health recommendation strategies to minimise the risk of transmissions of infectious agents by following these simple safety and hygiene measures to help protect you and everyone else. These are a first-line approach to infection prevention and control and are routinely applied as an essential strategy for minimising the spread of infections.
- Wear a face mask in vehicles when COVID positive results and/or droplet/airbourne infections are reported
- Disinfect surfaces inside the vehicle
- Wash hands and sanitise regularly to protect yourself and fellow passengers
- Cover any sneezes or coughs with your inner elbow or with a tissue that is then discarded properly
- Stay home if unwell
Here is how we can help!
– If you would like one of our supporters to take you out into the community for some exercise, a take away drink or even a light stroll, we can arrange that.
– If you’re not up for a walk or exercise at the moment, we can still take you out for a drive to a nice area and take in some fresh air.
– We are available to take you out for half day or day trips to visit family members of friends out of town.
– We can drive you to your usual doctor appointments or to get your vaccination booster or test.
– We can take you to the shops OR even go shopping on your behalf.
Carers that Drive is an essential service and all our supporters are double vaccinated. We understand that yet again many of your ongoing supports and appointments may be cancelled due to positive COVID-19 and Influenza results that can be a lonely and challenging time for many. Just let us know what your needs are and we will accommodate you the best we can.
