COVID-19 advice for residential service providers

Compliance

We understand that, as COVID-19 public health directions continue to change rapidly, it may not always be clear to service providers how to apply the arrangements in your service.

To understand the current restrictions:

• check the COVID-19 requirements
• contact the Supported Accommodation Providers Association for further advice.

If you've taken appropriate steps to understand and apply the current public health directions to ensure the health and safety of residents, staff and visitors, we will not penalise you if complying with a health direction is inconsistent with any legal or regulatory obligation.
