At Eastcoast Church, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment within our building. Eastcoast Church is a registered COVID Safe organisation. We have a COVID safe plan in addition to our existing WHS requirements and operate within the limits of the regulations that have been legislated by the NSW Government. Eastcoast Church has a COVID Safe warden appointed as part of our operations, and we regularly have briefings as a team to remain updated and informed of any changes that occur that affect our operations as an organisation. We understand that there will be some questions regarding our face-to-face services recommencing on Sunday the 14th of November. Below is a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) that may be of help to you.

If you have any more questions that are not covered on this page, please do not hesitate to contact us at admin@eastcoast.org.au

Ventilation

Eastcoast Church has regular servicing on our heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Where possible and safe, outside ventilation will be used in the building as per recommendations from NSW Health.

Cleaning and Sanitisation

Eastcoast Church has contracted commercial cleaning weekly post Sunday services. This includes frequently touched surfaces (FTS). Cleaning of FTS also occurs regularly during the week, including auditorium chairs. Cleaning products that are used are affective against COVID-19.

Hand Sanitisation 

Proper hand hygiene will be required while in the building. Hand sanitising stations will be available throughout the building, and you are encouraged to sanitise your hands regularly.
