Due to new, unlinked cases emerging in the City of Port Phillip, City of Glen Eira, and City of Bayside we are asking employees who live in those local government areas to get tested for COVID-19.
You can do so at any testing location, including Monash Health’s where you have priority access – just show your ID card to the traffic controller.

A reminder that COVID-19 symptoms include fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose and a loss or change in sense of smell or taste.
