Jeremy Rockliff,Minister for Education and Training
The current Covid-19 cluster in the North-West has reinforced the need for all non-essential movements to cease.
Over the next two weeks, Early Childhood Education and Care centres in the North-West can choose to only accept children where both parents have to leave the home to perform essential work duties.
If you are at home and can look after your own children, then you should.
It is very important that everyone in the North-West only leave their primary residence when they absolutely need to, and only use early childhood care or family day care if they have a genuine need for care due to work commitments.
By staying home you are helping to save lives.
