• Please stay home if you or your children are unwell or displaying symptoms of a respiratory illness. This includes (but not restricted to) fevers, runny noses, sore throats and coughs. Think to yourself “if my children would be sent home from day care, they are unable to attend a NMBC organised event”.
  
• If you attend a NMBC event and become unwell after a attending a NMBC event please ensure you follow NSW health guidelines regarding testing. While awaiting results of testing please make contact with a NMBC board member. This information will remain confidential but will allow us to ensure that other events can be postponed until results are known.

• All attendees (including grandparents) must complete the NMBC event register. Your age-based coordinator or NMBC board member will have this folder available at all catch ups. This information will be kept securely and if necessary, passed onto NSW health officials if NMBC are contacted in relation to contact tracing.
