As many of you are aware, the State of Emergency in Victoria is set to end at 11:59pm tonight. All of the current health directions in place also end with it, but the Premier recently had new laws passed giving him the power to implement rules and mandates to keep the people of Victoria safe.

There has been many media statements released from his office today and we strongly urge members to read the ones they feel are relevant to them.

Updated Public Health Protections to Keep Victorians Safe <<<< please read the current media statement by the Premier's Office.

The link above discusses the new pandemic orders under the new Public Health and Wellbeing Act, which will come into effect from 11:59pm tonight and will be in place until 12th January 2022.

Please take the time to read this announcement and any others that may be relevant to you. ANTA members operate their business in the health sector, retail sector, education sector and in other ways, and we simply cannot be across every industry to help you understand these in the way you have chosen to run your business.

This may be the last update we provide before we close for Christmas. We would like to wish all Victorian's a very Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year!
