Smoke & Vape Free Policy

Rationale

Living & Learning is committed to providing a healthy environment and protecting the health and well-being of children, families, our team, contractors and visitors by ensuring that Living & Learning’s workplace premises are vaping and smoke free.


Details

Living & Learning has a no smoking and no vaping policy which is supported by the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Vaping) Amendment Act 2020. Smoking and vaping may not take place inside the building, within the children’s outside play area, car park area, or anywhere within the centre grounds.

The smoke-free policy (including vaping) applies 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to all families, our team, contractors and visitors who are expected to abide by the Non-Smoking / Non-Vaping Policy. A breach of this policy may be the subject of formal disciplinary action.

Employees are responsible for ensuring these requirements are met at all times.

A ‘no smoking’ sign will be displayed at the centre at all times, and this includes vaping.

All complaints will be responded to within 20 working days.

Any complaints regarding this policy are to be forwarded to:
The Chief Executive
Kindercare Learning Centres
60 Greville Road
Pinehill 0632
