At IRT we’re focused on balancing our residents’ wellbeing and the risk of an outbreak of transmissible infection, including COVID-19, in our aged care centres.
We’re committed to doing all we can to keep our centres open to visitors so everyone can enjoy time with family and friends – and we all have a role to play in achieving this.
Visiting and resident outings
If you’re planning to visit one of our aged care centres or take a resident for an outing, please consider the Dos and Don’ts listed in the table below, and click here for more detailed information.
Outbreaks of transmissible infection
If the aged care centre you’re planning to visit is experiencing an outbreak of transmissible infection, you may be required to take precautionary measures like wearing additional personal protective equipment (PPE) or completing a rapid antigen test.
To view a list of IRT Aged Care Centres managing an active outbreak where such requirements may be in place, click here.
Sometimes restrictions and changes must be implemented quickly and at short notice before this page can be updated, so before visiting you may also like to phone the aged care centre to check.
