The PSA has been notified that admissions at Cobham have been closed due to a COVID positive test result of a new detainee.  All individuals identified as close contacts are isolating and following health guidelines and directions.

At this stage there are no signs of spread beyond the one individual. While this initial containment is pleasing, the news confirms the vital importance of strict COVID protocols and adequate PPE at all Centres.

Don’t forget that your union is here for you. Members who find that they are not coping or just need someone to talk to please do not hesitate in contacting Welfare Officer Trish O’Brien at or on her mobile 0412 120 391.  If you have additional enquiries, please contact the Member Support Centre on 1300 772 679
