​COVID-19 Monitoring

We established in 2020, and still maintain a group of senior staff to oversee implementation of the numerous and changing pandemic plans. Melba has well established occupational health and safety policies and procedures that we use to protect the people we support from infection, particularly illnesses like COVID-19.

Any enquiries from staff about infection control or personal hygiene can be directed to our Practice Support Line, which operates on a 24/7 basis.
