Information for Tenants

- UPDATED 23 SEPTEMBER 2020 -

Currently all branch offices and community hubs are now open are operating as close to normal as possible.

Our staff are working tirelessly to keep our tenants and visitors to our locations safe and we are proud to say that all locations are registered COVID Safe Workplaces.

From time to time Compass may need to close some of our branch/hub locations in regions where there are COVID-19 outbreaks and active cases.

If unsure, please call 1300 333 733 before attending any Compass office or check this page for updates.

Social distancing and other precautionary measures will remain in place to ensure community safety. Face to face meetings with Compass staff will be available by appointment, and visitors may be required to undergo screening measures prior to entering the premises.

Screening measures may include:

Visual assessment for symptoms of illness. Visitors with obvious symptoms of illness will not be permitted to enter the office.
A temperature check using a non-contact thermometer. Anyone recording a temperature of 37.6 degrees Celsius or above will not be permitted to enter the office.

Clients who are unable to enter the office for any reason will still be able to access our services by contacting the Compass call centre on 1300 333 733, or via our website at www.compasshousing.org/contact

Urgent and emergency maintenance work will continue to be delivered under the same social distancing and precautionary arrangements as have been in place since the beginning of the outbreak.

The safety of our communities remains our top priority. We will continue to monitor the situation in the weeks ahead and will provide further updates to our operating procedures as and when things change.

If you have any questions about any of this information, please get in touch by calling 1300 333 733.
