Pemulwuy Children's Centre has closed, temporarily, after a parent tested positive for COVID-19. The parent visited the Centre twice in the past two weeks, while they were potentially infectious.

All families who have children at Pemulwuy Children's Centre in the last two weeks have been advised that they should monitor all family members for symptoms.

Council is carrying out intensive professional cleaning of the Centre to ensure it is safe for children and our staff. The Centre will remain closed until this is complete.

We appreciate the patience and support of families during this difficult and uncertain period and will do everything we can to ensure their safety.
