Carinity Fassifern Coronavirus Pandemic Response

How to keep the community centre safe.

Where visitors are permitted in a Carinity site throughout Queensland, they will be required to login using the Check In Qld app. Where a person may be unable to use the Check in Qld app staff can register the person in the app or collect contact tracing information by using another method (eg. paper-based form).

Carinity will continue to closely monitor the latest Australian Government and State Government advice and are adjusting our services accordingly to safeguard our clients, volunteers, visitors and staff.

Specific information regarding how Carinity is managing the risk of the pandemic across our various services and how this may affect you will be published on the frequently asked questions (FAQ) webpages below.
