This page is current as at 07/8/2020 2:00pm

The latest information, resources and links will be posted here to assist in providing MSV members and stakeholders with the most relevant and up-to-date information regarding COVID-19.

Information is changing quickly – for the most up-to-date information, including the latest government advice and updates, visit the DHHS website or the Victorian Government’s health alert page.

 

We’re here to help and support you through the impact of COVID-19. We encourage you to stay in touch with your club and coaches and with your friends and family, so together we can overcome the challenges that come our way.

The health and well-being of our members is our priority. Like MSA and other Branches we have created a page to provide updated information and resources to help connect members, clubs, coaches and volunteers in this unique time of change. 

But please as with any type of training MSA and MSV encourages you to read the following guidelines in order to properly use listed techniques and to stay safe:

  • Check that you have sufficient space to practice
  • Check there are no trip/slip hazards
  • Check there are no objects you may fall on or come in contact with
  • Check there are no sharp objects or hot surfaces near by
  • Ensure you have sufficient lighting
  • Ensure your camera/screen and other electrical appliances, including cables, are on a level surface and not in your training space causing a trip hazard
  • Ensure the room has sufficient ventilation
  • Ensure you have water to keep hydrated
  • Remember to seek medical advice before training if you have any existing injuries or other medical conditions
  • Remember that children require adult supervision whilst practising
  • Ensure all household members are aware of the training and avoid entering the space

 

Also make sure that you check in with the organisations listed especially the ones with * as many of them are running webinars on how COVID-19 may effect your Club and things to think about moving forward.  We will share on FB any upcoming webinars.
