QLD COVID UPDATE
AUGUST 13

Dear ,

South East Queensland, together with the Cairns and Yarrabah Shires, are currently in “suspended animation” regarding the running of camps, and especially school camps.

Education Queensland is currently operating under the following planning framework.

Whilst this framework has been in place for some time, the recent addition of Scenario 5, was unexpected. We have been advised that operations under Scenario 5 will only continue whilst there remains restrictions within the 11 LGA’s and Cairns and Yarrabah, as there currently is. These restrictions are currently scheduled to end at 4pm Sunday August 22nd, 2021 (see this link).

When further clarity becomes available, we will provide it.

There is also a range of financial support available from the Queensland government, though it is quite limited in both the amount and scope.

Note that it appears that the QLD government is using an ASIC code as their eligibility checker for these grants (as has the Victorian government). Therefore, if your primary purpose is “religious” as defined by the ASIC code, you will not be eligible for these grants.

CVA intends to write to the QLD government, outlining the flaw in this logic.
 
 
Blessings to everyone,

Graeme
