All dairy businesses must implement a COVIDSafe plan (a mandatory health and safety measure).

Dairy Australia’s COVID Advisory Committee has developed a dairy farm COVIDSafe plan template.

Download the template from the resources section, or access it here on the Dairy Australia website.

The template includes good practice guidelines and covers four key elements:

• Limiting the chance of COVID getting on to the farm
• Limiting the chance of spread of COVID on the farm
• Tracking movement and dealing with a positive case if it does occur
• Keeping your plan ‘front of mind’ and up-to-date

When a COVID-19 case occurs in a business, the departments of health in your state look for evidence that there is a low chance of spread within the business. So, the better a business can demonstrate their COVIDSafe Plan, the higher their chances of being able to continue operating with least disruption.

Use this template to update or build your COVIDSafe plan now.
