COVID-19

Dear Citrus Australia Members 

Citrus Australia is pleased to share with you our Guide to COVID-19 in the Orchard & Packing Shed. This is a one-stop shop for citrus growers and packers dealing with COVID-19 in the workplace, and has been developed based on information available to our team from meetings with federal and state governments, industry stakeholders and health organisations. 

Please be assured that Citrus Australia is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation. We will regularly update COVID-19 information as it is received, so make sure you keep up to date by clicking on the tabs to the right. 

This is a guide only, as the situation is ever changing you may hear conflicting information, in which case we encourage you to seek clarity.
