The Adelaide University Hockey Club (AUHC) remains committed to the health and
safety of its members, guests & volunteers as its number one priority. We are
perpetually reviewing our operating policies and procedures due to concern in the
community and Government mandated changes regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
It should be noted that the Club in consultation with Hockey SA and relevant
authorities are removing some restrictions on the use of our facility. Of course,
members should exhibit a heightened awareness of personal hygiene and social
distancing as has been encouraged by state and federal health departments.
As of Monday 17th August 2020, the Committee and Management have
implemented the following to allow players to return to training and competition in
line with government regulations.
COVIDSafe App
We encourage the AUHC Community to download the COVIDSafe App as this speeds
up the contact process for people exposed to COVID-19, helping to support you, your
family and friends.
