Due to the essential nature of our animal care teams we will continue to open 7 days per week, our facilities are now open to the public. We are taking every precaution to ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors to the shelter.

Please, if you are feeling unwell, if you have a fever, dry cough, aches and pains, sore throat, headaches or shortness of breath stay home. Our services are essential in the community and we need to maintain a healthy workforce.

We are cleaning surfaces hourly; we have sanitiser in all reception areas, and we will be enforcing spatial distancing protocols. We have implemented the best personal hygiene practices and have advanced procedures ready to be put into action in the case of a positive diagnosis within our team.

Animal Aid is implementing these measures for the sake of our teams and the health of our community.

Be conscious when you’re entering our facility – have you used the sanitiser provided?

Be mindful of the 1.5m social distancing guidelines with our staff and customers.

We are practicing advanced personal hygiene, washing hands and sanitising surfaces hourly. 

Maintain the 1.5m distance from all persons.

We request wherever possible for customers to pay with EFTPOS (preferably Tap ‘n’ Go) in the hopes our staff will avoid interacting with potentially contaminated money.

If you are feeling unwell, please stay at home!
