In July, Goodstart Early Learning, Australia’s largest early learning and care provider launched a national internal campaign promoting the ‘Goodstart bubble’.
The campaign is aimed at encouraging all 15,000 Goodstarters to take the next step in the organisation’s ongoing safety journey and consider being vaccinated against COVID-19.
Goodstart’s Chief Safety Officer Matthew Little says that ensuring our families, children and our people feel safe each and every day is one of our upmost priorities.
“The latest outbreak of COVID-19 across the country, particularly in the Greater Sydney area, has been disruptive and concerning for many communities”, he said.
“We take seriously our commitment to keeping our 15,000 staff, 70,000 children and 63,000 families safe and well.
“Over the past 18 months we have raised the benchmark for cleanliness, safety and hygiene in our centres and will continue to maintain these levels well beyond COVID.
“Encouraging our people to get vaccinated, when they can*, is about taking that next logical step in our safety journey and coming together to protect Australia’s most valuable asset, our children.
Mr Little says it is not mandatory for Goodstarters to receive the vaccine and it’s up to the individual to make a personal choice.
“In the best interests of the community at large, and in particular the more vulnerable children and families we support we are asking our people to really consider joining our ‘Goodstart bubble’ and getting vaccinated when they can.
“Everything we do is for children at Goodstart, and as Australia’s biggest early learning and care provider we have such an opportunity to really make a powerful impact around safety in hundreds of communities across Australia.”
Note: *Vaccine supply and eligibility criteria differs between states; therefore, staff are encouraged to complete the Australian Government Department of Health COVID-19 vaccine eligibility checker and once eligible, make a booking at the clinic most convenient.
