WORKING PARTY MEETINGS SUSPENDED TO PROTECT ELDERS

The health and wellbeing of our Elders is SWALSC’s number one priority.We have been carefully monitoring the health advice coming from medical experts about the COVID-19 virus.

It has become clear to the Board and management at SWALSC that the expert advice requires that we take every possible step to protect our Elders from the risk of exposure to this new virus.

In order to reduce unnecessary travel and to reduce the amount of contact our Elders have with groups of people, SWALSC has decided today to immediately suspend all Working Party Meetings until further notice.

This decision will have an immediate impact on the Members of the Gnaala Karla Boodja (GKB) Working Party who are scheduled to meet at SWALSC’s Cannington Office Wednesday 18 March 2020.

SWALSC staff are currently phoning and emailing all GKB Working Party Members to advise them that the meeting will not be going ahead as planned.SWALSC apologises for any inconvenience caused to GKB Working Party Members who have already made travel plans, but we do not want to take any risks with the health and wellbeing of our Elders.

If you are a GKB Working Party Member and you have not received a phone call, we might not have your current contact details. Please phone the SWALSC office on (08) 9358 7400 so our staff can update you and answer your questions.

Letters will be sent out to all Working Party members in the coming week advising of the changes.
