2022 Course Update

All courses listed on the 2022 calendar are currently proceeding as scheduled.

COVID-19 Policies

Mandatory Vaccination

It is a requirement that all course participants have had 3 x doses (2 x doses and booster dose) of COVID Vaccination as per the Australian Government vaccine dose schedule recommendations for healthcare workers.

Please bring proof of vaccination to ETM Course, as many venues now require this for entry.

Pre Course Screening

In line with our COVID-19 safety policy, course participants and faculty will be screened via email three days prior to attendance at an ETM Course.

If an attendee/faculty member answers YES to any of the following screening questions, attendance at an ETM Course will not be permitted:

You are in COVID-19 isolation as instructed by your employer or state/territory health department
You have tested positive for COVID-19 within 7 days of course start date, regardless of symptoms.
You have any symptoms or signs of an upper respiratory tract infection
You have had close contact with or cared for someone diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 7 days (excluding occupational contact with appropriate PPE)

Participants who answer YES to any of the screening questions above, will be offered the option to transfer to another course at no cost, or registrations can be held in credit and used any time in the next 12 months. (A medical certificate or COVID-19 test result may be requested as proof of illness.)

We strongly recommend all participants undertake a RAT test the day prior to the course. Do not attend if positive. If symptomatic, a negative RAT test result does NOT exclude COVID-19 infection and is insufficient to allow course attendance/continuation. ETM wishes to protect other participants/instructors from other (non-COVID) infections, which if caught at the course, may impact their ability to work.

Development of URTI/COVID symptoms during a course

If a participant develops URTI/COVID symptoms during a course, they may be asked to leave the course. This is at the discretion of the Course Director.

Participants who are asked to leave a course due to developing URTI/COVID symptoms will be offered the option to transfer to another course at no cost.

ETM Course Cancellation
