COVID-19

With the current threat of COVID-19 impacting the health and welfare of Australians, Athletics Australia continues to take guidance from National and State health authorities. 

Athletics Australia also encourages clubs, athletes, coaches and officials continue to exercise the appropriate hygiene measures and implement self-exclusion if displaying flu-like symptoms. Any member with flu-like symptoms should self-exclude from training and coaching at the first sign of the symptoms and seek medical advice. When training we strongly recommend that you practice social distancing and other measures at the levels advised by the Australian Government Department of Health.
