Stay SAFE, Stay ALERT, Stay HEALTHY and fight the Pandemic
Providing Safe Suppport
As part of our outbreak Prevention Program Hola Support ensures we have a comprehensive infection prevention and control COVID-19 response in place. In 2020 Hola Support successfully supported their Participants and Staff during the first wave of the Pandemic and Hola Support will continue to be vigilant and provide support services. Some of the recommendations are to take vaccine, have an infection control lead at our facility, trained staff who can demonstrate competency in infection prevention and control, particularly in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), have sufficient stocks of PPE on site and have a robust process for screening all staff and visitors on entry to the facility.

As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold, we at Hola Support would like to assure you that the health and well-being of our participants, colleagues and community remains our topmost priority.
We realize that everybody is at risk of getting infected with Covid-19 but most people will only develop mild symptoms and eventually recover. But some people with disabilities could have more serious complications if they were to get infected with Covid-19, depending on their nature of disability and their medical history. For us at Hola Support, you and your families’ health and well-being is of utmost importance and we will do everything in our power to help keep you safe.
Hola Support complies with all the regular advice and alerts that the NDIS National Quality and Safeguards Commission provides about COVID-19. Thus we support our participants in every way possible while meeting all the current public health guidelines.
