COVID-19 Policies

COVID-19 Policy and screening

It is a requirement that all course participants have had 3 x doses of COVID Vaccination as per the Australian Government vaccine dose schedule recommendations for healthcare workers.

Before attending a course, we ask that participants review the screening questions below. If you answer yes to any of the following statements, please do not attend the course.

You have tested positive for COVID-19 within seven days of the course start date, regardless of symptoms.
You have had close contact with or cared for someone diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past seven days (excluding occupational contact with appropriate PPE).

Please note: If you have any obvious symptoms or signs of an upper respiratory tract infection during the course, you may be asked to provide a RAT test result. If this returns a positive result, you must leave the course and will be provided with options to complete the course at no additional cost at a later date.

If you have any obvious symptoms or signs of an upper respiratory tract infection and return a negative RAT result but still wish to depart the course (i.e. to minimise infectious exposure of other attendees), you will be provided with options to complete the course at no additional cost at a later date.

Facemasks
Given the ongoing high rates of COVID in the community and ongoing exposure of healthcare workers to COVID, ETM will maintain its policy that masks must be worn on all 2023 courses.

N95 masks are strongly recommended and will be provided; however, surgical masks will also be available if preferred.
