Sidekick Australia Covid-19 Policy & Procedure

Sidekick will implement our COVID-19 Response Plan to ensure all participants, staff members and external contractors are supported if a COVID-19 case is identified within, or connected to, our organisation.

Sidekick will advise all appropriate personnel to isolate in the following instances:

●       A Sidekick staff member has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

●       A confirmed case of COVID-19 has been identified in a participant or staff member.

●       A confirmed case of COVID-19 has been identified in the local area of Sidekick’ head office location or a care environment (including a participant’s home).

In the event a Sidekick participant or staff member is diagnosed with COVID-19, we will follow all appropriate and current government procedures. We will instruct all staff members who have been in contact and/or have been in the same area as the participant or staff member with COVID-19 to seek appropriate medical advice, to be tested for COVID-19, and to self-isolate if advised.
