Infection Control Statement 2023

Baby Wearers Western Australia Incorporated (BWWA Inc.) is committed to maintaining the health and safety of our valued community and all people who engage with BWWA Inc. events and services.

BWWA Inc. is committed to following the advice and guidelines provided by the Western Australian and Australian Governments, and the World Health Organisation, based on best practice for good community health and in relation to the COVID-19 epidemic.

The following information relates to BWWA Inc. meet events and the loan of carriers as of 1 February 2023:

1. BWWA Inc., its volunteers and members will continue to adhere to the current health advice and recommendations of the Western Australian State Government and Local Governments.

2. Please follow basic hand hygiene and physical distancing practices during BWWA Inc. meet events.

3. Please do not attend BWWA Inc. meet events if you or your child are unwell and/or infectious. If you have a loan carrier that is due for return and you are unable to attend the scheduled meet, please contact BWWA Inc. Committee to arrange an alternative return as per the BWWA Inc. Library Terms and Conditions.

4. Loan carriers that are returned to meets are not quarantined or washed and will be loaned out again at the same meet, unless they are damaged or require cleaning. Carriers are washed during the Christmas/New Year stocktake period and on an as needed basis as deemed by the Committee.

5. Changes to scheduled meets may come at short notice and we apologise for the inconvenience. We ask that you follow all relevant Facebook events and the website for updates. Anyone with a loaned carrier due for return at a meet that is cancelled will be contacted to arrange alternative return.

6. Any person who attends a BWWA Inc. meet event and wishes to try on multiple carriers must use a demonstration doll rather than their child while trying on the carriers. Once a carrier has been selected for loan, the person will be assisted with fitting their child in the carrier. The use of suck pads whilst using a loaned carrier is appreciated.

7. Please note that we are all volunteers and if you have any questions please contact us on info@babywearerswa.com.au or via our Facebook Group.

Thank you for working together for everyone’s health and safety.
