COVID-19 Updates

The health and wellbeing of our clients and staff continues to be our top priority, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are actively monitoring and adhering to the latest instructions provided to us by the Australian and Victorian Governments throughout this difficult time.

We understand the challenges and uncertainty surrounding coronavirus, particularly for those receiving in-home care. As such, we are dedicated to providing you with the most up to date information regarding our internal policies and procedures as well as resources for the prevention and management of COVID-19.

Just For u Care is an organisation that you can place your trust in, now and always. As an essential service, we are dedicated to providing quality in-home care services and support throughout the pandemic and are proud to also welcome new clients during this time. If you have any questions or need additional support, please contact us for more information.

Just For U Care’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Just For U Care has a COVIDSafe Plan in place, which includes the following control measures to reduce the risks associated with coronavirus:

All staff are fully vaccinated. This includes carers, administration staff, contractors, consultants and visitors to the office.
We provide staff with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and have trained our employees to correctly put on and take off the equipment.
Our staff have also been trained to follow protocols to reduce transmission, including regular hand-washing and hand-sanitising, thorough cleaning and disinfecting of used surfaces and objects and correct ventilation of enclosed spaces.
We have strict waste management processes, including the correct disposal of used tissues.
Our in-home carers and all staff are required to perform a rapid antigen test (RAT) if displaying COVID-19 symptoms.
Our carers can also assist with tasks outside of the home (such as personal shopping, medication collection and errands) in order to minimise our clients’ exposure.
