COVID-19 Safety Plan


The health and safety of the community is our number one concern and priority. We currently follow the COVID Safety Plan of any facility we are delivering programs for and staff are advised not to come to work if they have any symptoms of a respiratory illness. We implemented many additional cleaning practices and procedures to our normal operations and are following them diligently. 

From the 1st November all staff at Jones Co. Tennis will be fully vaccinated.

Current Restrictions for Kiama LGA

In accordance with the updated government guidelines, all players and guardians must adhere to the current restrictions in place while attending lessons. Playing tennis currently remains to be considered a form of exercise, however tennis should be played for exercise purposes only. Due to the changing nature of the restrictions, always check the NSW Government site for the latest information.

NSW Governement Website rules and regulations can be found here.

Students and guardians attending lessons must adhere to the following requirements:

Current requirements (prior to 80% state vaccinated):

  • The Public Health Order states that you can coach no more than 2 individuals from separate households under the Outdoor Gatherings provision within the PHO.

  • Students must not attend if they are awaiting COVID test results

  • Students must not attend if they have a flu, cold or any respiratory symptoms on the day or anytime up to 2 weeks before your lesson
