UPDATE FEBRUARY 1, 2021

Good afternoon everyone,

We hope you are all coping okay with the news surrounding the new COVID-19 outbreak. Since the weekend we have had to make some operational changes here at the office, effective immediately.

We have implemented the working from home policy for the team, effective today. This won’t mean too much of a change for you as we will continue to support you via phone or email as our offices will be closed.

We realise times like this can be difficult for people, so please contact Sarah or myself on the details listed below, if you have any questions or would just like to talk.

Sarah Williams, Support Services Officer 0434 051 475  or sarah@mdwa.org.au

Piper Marsh, Community Services Manager 0409 812 476 or piper@mdwa.org.au

Thankfully there is a large amount of COVID information available and we will post updates on our website. Two other sources of excellent COVID-19 information are:

• The Loop - Health and Wellbeing - The Loop - Your Neuromuscular Resource Hub (theloopcommunity.org)

• The National Disability Services COVID-19 Hub COVID-19 Hub - National Disability Services (nds.org.au)

Once we have more information on the lockdown, we will be in touch, but please remember we would love to hear from you.

The team at MDWA x
