The safety and wellbeing of our community is always our priority. We are committed to supporting the Government, health officials and front line workers as they work to stem the COVID‑19 pandemic.

Over the course of the pandemic, Mable has taken the threat of COVID-19 to our community seriously. We have continuously followed Public Health advice and monitored the Government’s responses to ensure we are taking steps and measures to ensure the safety of all using the Mable platform.

COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements

All States and Territories across Australia have implemented vaccination mandates for Community & In-Home Aged Care and Disability Support Workers. We have communicated these requirements to all relevant members of the Mable community in advance of any Government led mandate taking effect and have ensured that all independent support workers have self-declared their vaccination status by the relevant required dates, in order to continue providing support on the platform.

Other Guidance

We recommend clients and service providers discuss how support can continue.

We remind you of the importance of following COVID-19 infection control measures and continuing to use the Home Support Screening Tools and Guidelines before and during support sessions.

Please familiarise yourself with the “Good hygiene for coronavirus” guidelines provided by the Department of Health.

If you need evidence that you are providing an essential service, people providing care and support can access their ‘Support Worker ID’ on their Mable Mobile App.
