LGIS Services continue during COVID-19 disruption Back
Print

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is disrupting everyone and every business across the country and LGIS is no different. Like our members, local governments across Western Australia, we're focused on protecting the health and well-being of our employees whilst maintaining the services we deliver.

LGIS has a business continuity plan that we regularly review, test, and evolve. Our COVID-19 response team meet regularly to monitor the current situation, enact necessary measures, and ensures we're implementing preparedness procedures across all aspects of our business.

We know that members rely on our services during times of trouble and we want to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to maintain services

Increased monitoring

LGIS is closely monitoring information from the Federal and West Australian government, risk management and business continuity experts. We are also engaging with a number of insurance industry groups, for idea sharing and best practices. 

Travel and client meetings

LGIS is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for employees and members, while maintaining high standards in order to protect and manage your risks. As part of this effort, we have introduced processes to review non-essential business travel for employees. We have also encouraged employees to exercise caution regarding any plans for personal travel to areas considered higher risk.

Member meetings continue to be an important part of our service offering. However, over recent years we have invested in video-conferencing technology so that we can virtually meet with you anytime, anywhere. Video-conferencing is available to all members who would prefer it at this time. We will still attend one-on-one meetings with members as long as all individuals involved are comfortable and where WA State Government travel restrictions permit.

Our offices – still open

LGIS' continuity plan ensures that services to members don't suffer during this time and that our staff are cared for.

Our offices are still open. We have introduced working from home measures for the majority of staff and those who choose to remain in the office have increased distance between work stations. We have also introduced elevated preparedness, awareness and promotion of hygiene in our office. This will mean that should any broad restrictions be placed on the Australian population our team will be able to support you and that you can speak and interact with our team as normal.

Guidance for councils

LGIS is working with WALGA to support our WA local government members. Both organisations have created pages with information on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the range of support services that we can provide.

Information pages will be updated as the situation changes.
