COVID-19

Update 3rd September 2021

Dear Residents, Family and Friends

It is great to read that the people of Greater Sydney are turning out to get vaccinated and Australia is now delivering one million COVID-19 vaccine doses every 3 days. We are very pleased with our vaccination rates across the four Columbia facilities for both Residents and staff receiving either Dose 1 and/or Dose 2 listed below.

By September 17 100% of rostered staff will have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

This Sunday, September 5 we celebrate Father’s Day, with small gifts arranged for Residents. Greater Sydney is still under “stay at home” orders and with Columbia facilities in lockdown, visitors are NOT PERMITTED under any circumstances at this time so our celebrations will have to be virtual. If you would like to arrange a video or phone call please reach out to the RAO team.

We are all looking forward to the day when restrictions can be eased. Future visitors will be asked to provide proof of full vaccination (2 doses) prior to entry.  If you have received both doses please email Reception your vaccination certificate so that we have a record.

Don’t delay – to book in for the vaccine please go to:-

If you have any concerns please reach out to your Facility Services Manager at any time.

Stay safe.
