Covid-19 is currently resurging across Australia, with new variants presenting an ongoing risk to particularly members of our community with ongoing health issues and older people (aged 70 years and over).
It is vital that we continue to take steps to minimise the impact of Covid-19 and protect those most vulnerable. As such, Rosewood continues to work towards reducing the risk of outside transmission, with Covid-19 safe visiting practices in place.
We all have a role to play. The following offers a guide, based on the latest advice from WA Health, to help plan a visit, and ensure the safety of all those working, living and visiting in either Rosewood West Perth or Leederville.

Children aged under 5 years
Children under 5 years may only visit in exceptional circumstances, with a risk assessment conducted by the clinical team, and with approval of the CEO. We suggest you discuss this request in advance with the Operations Manager to avoid disappointment.
A reminder that the wider Rosewood team is working hard to look after residents and each other. The team is required to adhere to a range of Covid-19 safe practices, including but not limited to, RAT testing for each shift, donning and doffing a variety of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and undergo ongoing infection control training.
Please be patient when interacting with staff and each other, take staff advice, and let’s work together and play our part to keep everyone safe and healthy.
If you have any questions regarding visiting the facilities, please reach out to one of the operations managers.
