Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced Victoria will enter a five-day lockdown from 11.59pm tonight, ending at 11.59pm Tuesday night. That means there will only be five reasons to leave home:

• Shopping for food and supplies,
• authorised work and study,
• care and care giving,
• exercise,
• getting vaccinated.

What does this mean for Out Doors?

Unfortunately, Out Doors’ scheduled program from Monday 19 July – Friday 23 July won’t be running while the state is in lockdown.

Programs that are running after this date will be assessed next week, and we will provide advice based on the Victorian Government’s recommendations.

Participants who are registered to attend next week’s program will be contacted by Out Doors Inc. staff. 

If you need to get in touch with us, please Contact Us.

Where can I find more information?

We all need to continue to play our part to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
