Covid Policy
Proof of Vaccination
Kookaburra Creek Yoga Centre is a public building on privately owned premises, registered as a 'yoga studio'. Yoga studios are broadly classified with gyms, fitness centres and health studios, and are therefore subject to the recently introduced Vaccine Mandate requiring proof of Covid-19 vaccination.
Therefore, from the 31 January 2022, it is a requirement of entry to the Kookaburra Creek Yoga Centre venue that all teachers, students and visitors present a current certificate of Covid-19 Vaccination and Photo ID as per the Directions published by the State Government: https://www.wa.gov.au/system/files/2022-01/Proof-of-vaccination-directions.pdf
As per the Directions, presentation of a Vaccination Certificate is not required to access outdoor gyms or fitness classes, and is therefore not required to access outdoor spaces on our premises.
Your Vaccination Certificate can be presented on arrival, along with photo ID. You will only need to do this once, and once sighted we will keep a record of the following details 'full name; mobile phone number; date vaccine certificate sighted; date ID sighted'. Then the next time you visit, you'll just need to sign in with your name, phone number and tick the box on the sign-in register indicating that your vaccination certificate has already been presented.
We do not need to keep a copy of your Vaccination Certificate, however if you would like to upload it in advance of attending then you can do so by completing the Covid Proof of Vaccination Form and we will update our records accordingly. The information we may share if audited or for the purposes of Contact Tracing is limited to: 'full name; mobile phone number; date vaccine certificate sighted; date ID sighted' and will be limited to relevant authorities only. We promise not to share your personal details or any medical information you share with us with any other 3rd party organisations or people.
As per the published 'Proof of Vaccination Directions', unvaccinated people are still able to attend outdoor programs at Kookaburra Creek. You will need you to sign the register on arrival and provide your full name and mobile phone number. You will not be permitted to enter any of the indoor spaces on the premises.
Medical Exemption
If you have an official Government-issued Medical Exemption you are able to attend the Kookaburra Creek Yoga Centre venue and premises and both indoor and outdoor programs. Please follow the same procedures as stated above for presenting/submitting your Covid Certificate.
Restricted attendance
If you are not able to present a current Covid Vaccination Certificate along with Photo ID or a valid Medical Exemption, then entry to Kookaburra Creek Yoga Centre is not permitted.
Attending any program (indoors or outdoors) at Kookaburra Yoga while unwell with any respiratory infection or cold/flu symptoms is not permitted, regardless of vaccination status.
If you are subject to an isolation order, have been instructed to quarantine, or have visited a listed exposure site during the specified days/times as listed on the State Government website then attending any program at Kookaburra Yoga (indoors or outdoors) is not permitted. Please check published exposure sites before attending Kookaburra Yoga: https://www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/Articles/A_E/Coronavirus/Locations-visited-by-confirmed-cases
Masks indoors
Kookaburra Creek Yoga Centre is large and naturally well ventilated with many windows opening to nature. Even so, we are currently required to wear masks when inside. These can be removed once you're on your mat and practicing yoga. When walking around the studio and when you are not practicing yoga you are required to wear a mask.
If you have a Medical Exemption proving that for medical reasons you are unable to wear a mask, please present this on arrival.
Cancellations due to Covid
If Kookaburra Yoga cancels a program for any reason, including any reason related to Covid, then all registered participants will be contacted via the email address you registered with. You will be offered 3 options:
If you need to cancel your place on any program with Kookaburra Yoga because you are unwell, or are affected by directions to isolate, or for any reason related to Covid and you cancel within 24 hours of the program commencement time then the same 3 options apply.
If you cancel for any other reason, then our usual cancellation policies apply (please see the webpage for your event or activity).
