Our team is working closely with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), supporting the department as it continues contact tracing and ensuring we have all relevant information to coordinate our response effectively.

Our priority is to ensure Chadstone is safe for everyone who is coming to our centre and relying on the service our centre provides.
