COVID-19 Safety Plan
Effective 1 July
Community sporting competitions and full training activities
We’ve developed this COVID-19 Safety Plan to help you create and maintain a safe environment for you, your workers, volunteers and your visitors.
Complete this plan in consultation with your workers and volunteers, then share it with them. This will help slow the spread of COVID-19 and reassure your visitors that they can safely participate in activities. You may need to update the plan in the future, as restrictions and advice changes – you can make changes to the plan if you’ve printed or saved it, or you can choose
to download and create a new version of the plan.
Organisations must follow the current COVID-19 Public Health Orders, and also manage risks to staff and other people in accordance with Work Health and Safety laws. For more information and specific advice for your industry go to nsw.gov.au
