how Rocky Bay is responding
Rocky Bay continues to follow the Health Department guidelines, for ensuring the safety of our staff and customers and this has worked well so far in minimising the impact and keeping people safe.
As part of our approach, we will make informed decisions on any case to balance continuity and quality of service to our customers against any risks. Safety of staff and customers is our overarching consideration, and we will put in place appropriate PPE where and when it is needed to keep you protected, based on health advice.
We will do our best to keep disruption to a minimum, while still providing the best possible service in a safe and friendly manner.
