COVID - 19 Update
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) is having a significant impact on all our lives. At RIMPA, we’re doing everything we can to continue business as usual for our members. As we do this, we need to protect the health and wellbeing of all our staff and members. Like other businesses, in line with government and medical advice, we are making operational changes to protect our Members and staff which has included cancelling or posting some events and offering virtual alternatives where possible.
We understand there are feelings of anxiety around the CVOVID-19 pandemic. If so, you are not alone – many of us are feeling uncertain about what’s ahead, and I doubt any of us – our family and friends included - will be left untouched in some way.
Over the coming weeks and months, we need to look out for each other. One way to do this is to keep in touch with your colleagues via an occasional email or phone call an on informal basis.
Alternatively:
- The Australian Department of Health has real time updates and alerts
- The NZ Ministry of Health has real time updates and alerts
- Your local Health Department will also have information particular to your state in Australia or province in New Zealand
- The Coronavirus Health Information Line in Australia 1800 020 080 also operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
