Covid-19 Information & Helplines

Every Western Australian needs to play their part to help stop the spread of COVID-19 Coronavirus.
To stop the spread of coronavirus, everyone must:

·      Stay home if unwell, isolating, are a close contact or have contracted Covid-19

·      Always maintain 1.5 metres from others

·      Practice good hygiene standards

·      Wear a mask

·      Sign in at all in-person events and venues using the Service WA/Safe WA app or the sign-in sheet provided

Please note: All in-person events take place at venues where vaccination is mandatory. Patrons agree to show proof of vaccination when asked.

 Due to growing concerns about COVID-19 and the anticipated continued spread of Omicron across our communities in Boorloo (Perth) and Western Australia, the Propel team has decided to pivot towards digital and hybrid formats for the delivery of KickstART Festival.

We acknowledge that these are challenging times ahead and encourage everyone to look after themselves and each other, and to stay informed about how to remain safe. Below are also some links and resources for your access.
