COVIDSAFE PLAN | 2020-21: Doing what we can | Life Saving Victoria 4
1. Preamble 1.1. Purpose of the COVIDSafe Plan 1. To plan LSV’s return to business and provide assurance for the protection of our volunteers,
staff, delivery partners, customers and visitors.
2. This COVIDSafe plan outlines:
(a) What activities LSV’s plans to operate, when and how.
(b) Actions to help prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
(c) What to do in case of suspected or confirmed transmission of COVID-19.
3. This COVIDSafe Plan is aligned to LSV’s Pandemic Plan and has been informed by the following inputs:
(a) Risk assessments
(b) Consultations with governing councils represented by lifesaving clubs
(c) Consultations with emergency service partners and stakeholders
(d) Practices of other organisations
(e) Advise from the Victorian Government
1.2. Goals 1. To sustain LSV’s ability to deliver our vision and mission today and in future.
2. To support affiliated lifesaving clubs in their ability to deliver on their vision and mission today and in future.
3. To conduct all activities in a planned and COVIDSafe manner within the rules set by the Victorian Government.
1.3. Guiding principles 1. Protect our volunteers, staff, delivery partners, customers and visitors and the wider
community from COVID-19 and its impacts.
2. Acknowledge we are writing a playbook as we go and will need to be adaptable.
3. Focus and be positive about what we can do, knowing it is going be different to previous years.
4. Recogise that outcomes are unlikely to be a one-size fits all and require case by case circumstances to be considered.
COVIDSAFE PLAN | 2020-21: Doing what we can | Life Saving Victoria 5
1.4. Key Elements in the COVIDSafe Plan
1.4.1. Activity Groups
1. This COVIDSafe Plan covers the range of LSV’s activities that are delivered directly by LSV, through 57 affiliated lifesaving clubs and through 100+ community and industry delivery partners. The activities are combined into activity groups as outlined in the following table:
Activity Group Delivered by LSV
Delivered by Lifesaving
Clubs
Delivered by community and industry delivery
partners
Lifesaving Operations & Training • •
Aquatic Sport • •
Member Development Programs • •
Lifesaving Club Facilities and Events •
Education & Learn to Swim Services • •
Public Training Services • •
Pool Safety Services •
LSV Office & Warehouses •
LSV Functions & Events •
2. There are significant variances between activities in ‘what can be done, how and when’ in COVIDSafe ways. These variances are based on the levels of restrictions set Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) and the capacity of LSV, lifesaving clubs and delivery partners to operate.
3. This COVIDSafe plan uses a normalised approach across the activities and groups to accommodate similarities and the variances in ‘what can be done, how and when’. Examples of accommodating similarities include the use of common checklist such as personal health checks for anyone participating in any activity. Examples of accommodating variances include the use of specific guidelines for when and how a specific activity can conducted.
1.4.2. Recovery Scenarios
1. This COVIDSafe Plan uses recovery scenarios grouped by activity group to outline 'what can be done and how'' in a COVIDSafe way.
1. The recovery scenarios also outline the relevant resources including references, checklists, guides and tools required for implementing each recovery scenario.
COVIDSAFE PLAN | 2020-21: Doing what we can | Life Saving Victoria 6
2. The decision on which recovery scenario LSV, lifesaving clubs and delivery partners will be operating at a given point in time will be based on the following drivers:
(a) Compliance to the level of restrictions set by DHHS. The restrictions may be the same state-wide or be different based on metro, regional or hotspots locations. The restrictions will inform the availability of operating environments (including beaches, swimming pools and schools) and activities that can be undertaken.
(b) Capacity of LSV, a lifesaving club or a delivery partner to operate. For example, capacity of a lifesaving club to run a lifesaving patrol or a nipper program based on availability and commitment of members at that club.
3. Recovery scenarios in this COVIDSafe Plan range from A to D, with Scenario A being closest to ‘usual’ activities and Scenario D being closest to ‘no’ activities.
4. LSV will set recovery scenarios at a given point in time based primarily on the level of restrictions set by DHHS. Each lifesaving club and delivery partner will need to assess if they can operate to the recovery scenario set by LSV or if they need to adopt a lesser recovery scenario based on their capacity to operate.
5. Where required, LSV will use exemptions for restrictions available to emergency services to conduct lifesaving operations and training activities.
1.4.3. Recovery Roadmaps
1. This COVIDSafe Plan uses recovery roadmaps to outline which recovery scenarios are planned on a month by month basis, subject to the Victorian Government’s announcements.
2. The recovery roadmaps are critical for LSV, lifesaving clubs and delivery partners to prepare for implementing the recovery scenarios.
3. While there is no certainly of what level of restrictions that will apply at future points in time, LSV will use 'best guess' assumptions to plan for a recovery.
4. Assumptions are important for planning recovery given the lead time required to be ready to deliver programs and services. The accuracy of the recovery roadmaps will be reviewed in line with announcements from DHHS as they occur.
5. LSV recognises that lifesaving clubs and delivery partners may have recovery roadmaps that are different to LSV due to variance in which recovery scenarios are operatable for each entity.
1.4.4. Target Audiences
1. This COVIDSafe Plan in its entirety is relevant for governance related target audiences with an LSV-wide perspective.
2. Sections of this COVIDSafe Plan should be extracted as relevant for specific activity group-based target audiences.
