Remote Projects
AFLNT are closely monitoring the situations of the nine remote AFLNT serviced locations and will continue to follow advice from the Northern Territory Government, health authorities and Land Councils.
The health and safety of the community remains the highest priority. AFLNT will continue to work closely with the Northern Territory Government and will be guided by advice from the government, health authorities and Land Councils.
It is important to stay home and get tested if you are feeling unwell or have had any contact with a person from any Government Declared hotspots in the last 14 days.
It is also important to practice good hygiene at all times – keep up the hand washing and use of soap, as well as sanitiser.
We encourage you to download and use the Government’s Territory Check In and COVIDSafe app and make sure they are up and running before you leave your house.
AFLNT will update stakeholders with any new information regarding restrictions and protocols for community football, when available.
