As announced by the Victorian Government, restrictions in Melbourne have been extended. For details on the current restrictions in place, please visit the Coronavirus Victoria website.
Please wear a mask whenever you leave home unless a medical exemption applies. Please get tested if you notice any symptoms, no matter how mild. If you visit any of our branches, it is mandatory that you check in using the QR code in place. Follow the rules and instructions provided by the Government, so we can keep the community protected, as we open up again.
