What do I need to do if my child, or someone who lives with my child, tests positive to COVID-19?

You must notify your service provider.

Your childcare provider may also require you to notify them if your child or if you are a close contact.

A staff member or child (who is a close contact) can still attend care subject to the following conditions:

1. they cannot attend if they show symptoms; and
2. must produce a negative test result prior to attending care (for all of the seven days) – refer to the Public Health website for the latest close contact rules.
