OUR FULL SAFETY POLICY FOR ARRANGING OR CONDUCTING INSPECTIONS AND AUCTIONS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING :
SUMMARY Each state ’ s operating guidelines vary for auctions and inspections . To ensure our practices are consistent with government directions , it ’ s important that you take recommendations from your local professionals who will adhere to their state ’ s specific government guidelines and best practice . Currently in Victoria the government directions require our members to revert to conducting ‘ online auctions ’ in restricted and relevant areas and ‘ private inspections ’. In addition , the wearing of masks is mandatory in Victoria .
• We check the occupants are not ill , self-isolating or under quarantine before arranging and attending .
• We will have hand sanitiser available at the entry ( and exit ) of the property where necessary .
• We arrange with the owner to prepare the property for contactless inspections . Have key drawers , pantries and wardrobes open and ready to view . Open as many doors and windows as possible to minimise the need for attendees to do the same . Attendees are encouraged not to touch .
• We will limit the numbers stipulated as per state requirements .
• We will schedule appropriate numbers and timings for inspections to ensure limits are adhered to .
