MASKS
While masks are no longer mandatory, we strongly encourage all guests and staff to wear them where social distancing is a challenge.
WHAT COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES HAVE YOU PUT IN PLACE?
The health and safety of members, guests and staff always comes first. That is why we have introduced a range of new measures and cleaning protocols:
- We have developed our COVID-Safe Operations Plan under recommendations provided by the NSW Health Department and State and Federal Governments.
- Key staff have completed the COVID-19 Infection and Prevention Control training endorsed by the Australian government.
- Enhanced daily cleaning regimes, including frequent cleaning of high touchpoints.
- Ensuring adequate handwashing facilities are available.
- Installed additional hand sanitiser dispensers throughout the Science Space.
- Zero contact check-in. You can pre-booked online and receive a QR code on your phone or print out ready to scan at the entry point.
- Elevator use is recommended to be used by one household group at a time.
- Please follow the floor markings and signage to help maintain safe distances.
- CASH is preferred please use EFTPOS where possible.
- We are limiting the number of people at one time and some changes have been made to ensure physical distancing and government recommendations can be adhered to.
