We're COVID Safe

July 2, 2020

Implementing a COVID-19 Safety Plan 

We have officially registered as a COVID Safe Business with the NSW Government. This means that we have implemented a COVID Safe safety plan which will ensure the continuing service provision to our clients in a manner that keeps everyone safe. 


Conferences:

  • The most important strategies we are implementing include  conferencing clients via secure Zoom meetings which are password protected. 
  • If face-to-face meetings are required at our offices in person we will be guided by the COVID-19 Safety Management Directive set out by our office at Level 1, 299 Elizabeth Street Sydney.
  • This includes a requirement for all persons entering the premises regardless of status or purpose to enter their details in the attendance log which is located in the entry foyer of Level 1.
  • All persons entering are to hand sanitise upon entering the premises with sanitising stations located in the entry foyer to Level 1.
  • There are new restrictions in relation to meeting rooms on Level 1 being maximum 2 persons at one time. This includes the solicitor that you are meeting. Unfortunately this means that if you are booked for a face-to-face conference that you will not be able to bring along a support person.


Gaol Visits:

  • We are continuing to see our clients in custody at NSW Correctional Centres where necessary.
  • We are focusing on engaging audio visual systems where possible to conference our clients in custody.
  • We are engaging the general conventions of regular hand washing and hand santitising during our time in a NSW Correctional Centre. 
  • We are also maintaining 1.5 metres physical distancing from other persons or where not possible we are using non-contact legal visit rooms. 


Witnessing Legal Documents:

  • Where possible we are engaging in the use of Adobe e-signing technology in our legal documents.


Flexibility:

  • We are continually engaged with the latest news and are poised to change where necessary to ensure the safety of our community.
