Valley Industries
COVID-19 Statement

Valley Industries is moving to a phased social distancing strategy from, Monday 16 March 2020, to do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep our participants, staff and communities health. This means that our staff will remain hard at work supporting our people with disabilities and will continue to respond to the advice from NSW Health as they receive it.

 

In light of recommendations from the Australian Government regarding large gatherings, Valley Industries has decided to limit travel to only the most essential meetings and programs run by Valley Industries. We want to do our part to keep the community safe and stop the spread of this disease.
