Can I come into your offices?
Until further notice, our Chatswood, Katoomba, Windsor and Lithgow offices are open by appointment only. Our Penrith and West Ryde offices remain open with staff providing a contactless service where this is possible and appropriate.
Though these offices are open, we ask that you contact us for help by phone, email, via our website or Facebook page (messenger) if you can.
Are your staff and contractors vaccinated?
Any staff member or contractor providing a service in the office or in your home will be vaccinated.
How else are you keeping us safe when you deliver services to me in person?
Our staff and contractors will maintain social distance, use hand sanitiser, wear masks, and have their vaccination certificate to show you if you request it.
Link Wentworth will also:
- Continue asking for all visitors to our offices to check in using the QR code
- Have hand sanitiser and disinfectant wipes available in all offices
- Always practice social distancing
- Ensure staff who have flu like symptoms stay at home and do not meet you in person
- Continue asking the screening questions prior to meeting anyone in person
- Only see non-customer visitors who are vaccinated in our offices
- Encourage staff, contractors, and residents to get your COVID-19 booster from 5 months of their second vaccination
- Meet you in person in an outdoor setting if possible.
How do I get repairs and maintenance done?
We continue to undertake essential repairs and have resumed non-urgent repairs and maintenance services.
This service will be delivered by our staff and contractors who are vaccinated. Staff and contractors will also maintain social distance, use hand sanitiser, wear masks and present proof of vaccination if you request it. Please let us know if you have any other requirements.
What if I don’t want staff or contractors coming to my home?
Our staff and contractors will call you before coming to visit you in your home. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have, let us know if you have any other requirements, or ask us not to attend your home if you’re not comfortable with it.
You are welcome to ask us to postpone repairs and maintenance as well, and we will do so unless there is a safety issue that needs to be addressed.
