What you need to know to prepare your organisation
CSIA support for Industry during COVID-19
During the pandemic, CSIA ran a hotline to enable Industry representatives to shape the way both Industry and the State Government responded to COVID-19.
Resources and tools were made widely available as part of this initiative as well as links to the most up-to-date information.
We developed a series of tools and resources in response to the evolving COVID-19 situation.
These will support you to accelerate your planning and preparedness at every stage.

Industry planning and preparedness
We have the resources, tools and information to help you prepare for COVID-19, at whatever stage you are in your planning and recovery. As the situation evolves, CSIA will continue to provide you with new planning resources and tools. We can get through this together.
Now is the time to accelerate your planning. We have tools to support this process.

Community Services COVID-19 Taskforce
CSIA has convened an Industry Taskforce with representatives from 26 community services organisations from across the state. The aim of the taskforce is to build insights and anticipate issues that would arise in a way that accelerates Industry’s capacity to respond.
Learn more about how the Taskforce works and how you can share your organisation’s challenges, insights and responses.

Vaccine Rollout
Industry is well placed to play an important role in the success of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. We have all the information you need to support this prevention measure for Australia.

Infection Prevention and Management
As the COVID-19 situation evolves, infection control and management, with a focus on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the key focus of community services organisations. Services need to be delivered to service users in a way that keeps everyone safe.
We have a suite of resources developed by Industry, for Industry, to help you accelerate your planning and preparation.

Social Distancing
Social distancing is one of the most effective ways to minimise the spread and impact of COVID-19. We have all the information you need for everyone in your organisation to practice social distancing.

Mental Health and Wellbeing
As COVID-19 efforts turn towards recovery, it’s important we continue to look out for others who are vulnerable and remember to care for our own mental health and wellbeing. CSIA has collated useful information and links to mental health supports for community groups and people that may have been impacted.
