- Our in-person, in-centre services continue in a safe and effective manner at all NextSense centres around Australia.
- Our schools and preschools continue to operate as normal.

When attending any of the above NextSense centres:
- Face masks are compulsory at all times for all staff and clients at the above NextSense centres, irrespective of physical distancing. As always, an exemption to wearing a face mask when communicating with a person who is deaf or hard of hearing—and for that person themselves—still applies.
