COVID-19 Update No.60

Tuesday 21 September, 2021

This is my latest update to provide you with information about the impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) on our community.

As at 12 noon today, 21 September 2021, children and teenagers aged 18 years and under will be able to create a “bubble” of three friends and visit each other’s homes for play and activity.

This new change is subject to the following conditions: 

  • Each child is allowed to have two designated friends come to their house. These two friends must always be the same, creating a three-person “friends bubble”
  • All people older than 18 years in all the households must be fully vaccinated
  • The friends must reside within 5km of each other or in the same LGA
  • If parents/carers are dropping children off, they must not stay to interact with other parents or carers.

My staff and I are here to help you. Please call my office on 9349 6007, email matt.thistlethwaite.mp@aph.gov.au or reach me via FacebookInstagram or Twitter.
