AFTRS is committed to a safe working and learning environment for everyone in our community. The Federal Government has announced a Roadmap to COVIDSafe Australia. AFTRS has developed a plan for COVIDSafe working and learning that is aligned to the national roadmap. The AFTRS plan sets out a return to on-campus working and learning that includes collaborative screen and radio production activities as well as accessing and using specialist equipment safely.
AFTRS will move between steps alongside changes in the national roadmap as announced by state and federal authorities, and then as determined by the AFTRS Executive. The descriptors of each step will be determined individually and phased in, over time. This phased approach enables a slow build-up of activity in the building to occur in order to ensure appropriate measures are in place so we can progress safely and minimising risk.
These guidelines and parameters will be reviewed by AFTRS Executive weekly and revised in accordance with changing circumstances.
Developed by industry sector task forces, the Australian Screen Industry COVIDSafe Guidelines and Radio and Podcast Industry COVIDSafe Studio Principles have been set out to provide support and assistance to all industry practitioners. Incorporating information set out in these guidelines, AFTRS has developed the AFTRS COVIDSafe Guidelines & Production Protocols to support and assist all students and staff in eliminating and minimising the risks related to the transmission of COVID-19 while undertaking Screen and Radio activities at AFTRS.
AFTRS will continue to support, however possible, the screen and broadcast sector and the wider community.
