OPERATION OPEN HEART
Mae Selidio Office/Programs Assistant, Open Heart International
We still want to make sure our volunteers know that we are still here working and planning despite the ongoing uncertainty of COVID-19. And with International travel stirring up again a lot of our volunteers have asked about this, so we put this together in FAQs.
International travel is opening again, when does OHI plan to travel again?
Even though international travel is opening up again we must consider the risks of travel disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continuously monitoring the international health situation in the countries we visit. We are also keeping up to date on international travel restrictions both within Australia and the countries in which we travel. As you are all aware each state has individual restrictions, let alone each individual Hospital for health care workers. As you can appreciate, the scope is forever changing, we are hoping in the near future these will settle down so we can get a better picture to be able to assess properly.

What is OHI doing right now?
While COVID-19 has put a halt to the usual way we go about business, it has not stopped us from our working. If anything, this period of change has emphasized how precious the training component of our trips really is. While we may have paused our in-country project visits, for the time being, we are still able to impact lives across the sea via technology and will continue to do so until it is safe to travel.
How can I be the first to know when OHI will travel again?
