I want to share with you what we are doing at CCF Victoria to protect our people, our CCF members, stakeholders and our broader community.

COVID-19 – Current Situation

  • At CCF Victoria, we are remaining vigilant. We are monitoring, on a daily basis, the situation and are following the advice of the relevant Australian and State Government authorities.
  • While we have no reported or confirmed cases of COVID-19 relating to our people at our Notting Hill office, the health and well-being of our CCF staff and the business community in which we operate, is first and paramount.

Our Safety and Wellbeing Actions

  • Our Executive Management/Response team to COVID-19 team is meeting daily to monitor the evolving situation.
  • We have implemented many initiatives, including actions identified by State and Federal Governments and health organisations.
  • This includes appropriate hygiene and social distancing protocols to protect against infection and prevent the virus spreading. As a result, all meetings with CCF staff will now be conducted via telecommunications and virtual mediums.
  • Any visitors to the CCF Office are instructed to ring 1300 DIAL CCF for appointments with access to the office restricted to CCF staff and training course participants. This subject to further review on an on-going basis.

Business Continuity

  • Our Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is being refined and will be activated in the event we are required to close our office for sustained periods of time.
  • We are pleased to confirm that most of our CCF team already have the capability of working remotely with many of our training courses being able to be delivered in a virtual training environment, should the situation arise.
  • Flexibility is an important part of our CCF culture with our people already having the ability to work remotely.
  • We are also making additional investments in our IT infrastructure to cater for potential increased remote access.
  • You will continue to have access to our CCF team via email, telephone or by teleconferencing facilities.

Safety Precautions

  • We have implemented many safety precautions in our office, including directing our people to stay home and seek medical advice, if they have symptoms of illness and self-quarantine after suspected or possible exposure.
  • All people with authorised access to our premises are required to register and advise us of any recent overseas travel, potential exposure and relevant health symptoms.
  • We have cancelled all business travel, restricted domestic travel and directed our people not to attend external business functions.
  • We continue to reinforce our office protocols regarding hygiene and introduced additional cleaning measures to maintain the healthiest work environment possible.

Our Leadership

  • Our priority always is to keep our people, our CCF members/clients and the community safe.
  • The CCF Board and its Executive team is continuing to monitor and review the implications of COVID-19 on our business operations in challenging times.
  • It is also important to us that we continue to assist our CCF members during this period and we encourage you to activate your own Business Continuity Plan (BCP).
