The WA State Government has announced that the Perth and Peel Regions will be coming out of lockdown at 12:01am, Saturday 3 July. This remains subject to medical advice.

Australian Sailing has been provided with further advice in relation to sailing activities during the current lock down period.  The intent of this lock down is to restrict unnecessary movement to prevent the spread of the virus.

Since the announcement by the NSW Government on the 19th August of the NSW restrictions for community sport, Australian Sailing has been advocating for a sailing specific solution to the restrictions which unfairly inhibited participation at sailing clubs in NSW.

As a result of the rising case numbers on COVID-19 in NSW, the Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerry Chant, has today advised that NSW Health will be updating the COVID-19 Safety Plan templates. The letter from Dr Chant documents key changes that will need to be implemented by community sports organisations as a matter of priority.
