COVID-19 update: Information for tenants as of 29 November 2021

At Unity Housing, our priority is to ensure people feel safe and secure in their homes and in the workplace.

From 29 November 2021, Unity Housing offices are open to tenants by appointment only until further notice (other than our boarding house office which remains open).

Our staff will keep in contact with you. If you need to make an appointment or need tenancy support, please contact your Housing Officer by phone or email.

  • Wear a face mask (unless you are not required to wear one for medical reasons)
  • Practice physical distancing (keep at least 1.5 metres apart from others)
  • Sign in using the QR code or paper entry

Current evidence supports that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best way to protect people and their families; that vaccinated people are less infectious and significantly less likely to become seriously ill. In consideration of this, the Unity Housing Board recently decided that all Unity Housing staff and contractors must be vaccinated against COVID-19 by 3 December 2021 to enter Unity housing sites including your home.

Unity Housing continues to take our advice from SA Health and will ensure we follow their guidelines. For more information, please call the SA COVID-19 Information Line on 1800 253 787 or visit  sahealth.sa.gov.au.
