Coronavirus (COVID-19) Advice

By Jon Lang | 26 March 2020

CURRENT ADVICE

We continue to follow the government’s advice regarding COVID-19:

Please ensure you adhere to the state’s requirements before attending our centres.

Advice in relation to the COVID-19 Coronavirus

As the Coronavirus outbreak dominates headlines globally, we continue to closely monitor the situation.

As an educational institution, Lumify Work is classified as an essential service by the Australian Government and can effectively maintain face-to-face delivery, albeit with modified delivery practices – adhering to social distancing and hygiene regulations. Despite this Government advice, and for the health and safety of our employees, students, trainers and partners, we will be transitioning all face-to-face courses to remote delivery, week commencing 30th March 2020.

The good news is that the vast majority of Lumify Work courses can be delivered virtually, so we foresee minimal impact to any booked or planned training, and we will do our utmost to accommodate your requirements.

For a small number of special cases, we can accommodate on-campus training, and with this in mind, we have introduced temporary changes and will continue to be guided by the relevant Federal and State Government authorities in relation to the delivery of face-to-face training on campus. At the same time, it is vital that we continue to support Lumify Work’s customers and partners in this dynamic environment.

We re-iterate, all Government advice to date has not impacted our ability to continue to deliver face-to-face training albeit with slight modifications:

Safety Measures

Students attending courses in person are now seated at least 1.5m apart and the maximum number of participants per class has been reduced to allow for this
We have introduced a no handshake policy
An increased number of hand sanitisers have been placed around each campus and rubbish bins are provided in each classroom
We will continue with our increased cleaning regime across all campus facilities
Lunch breaks have been staggered to minimise people in communal hospitality areas
A cap of one person per four square metres at each campus (as currently recommended but not yet mandated by Australia’s Chief Medical Officer)

As per the Government’s most current guidelines and for the safety of all students and staff we ask:

If you are displaying any flu-like symptoms – no matter how mild – we request that you do not attend classes at any Lumify Work campus
If you have been in close contact with a proven case of Coronavirus, we ask that you do not attend a Lumify Work campus for 14 days from the date of last contact with the confirmed case
If you have been overseas, we ask that you do not attend a Lumify Work campus for 14 days from the date of arrival in Australia
