Can I smoke or have an alcoholic beverage during services?

For the safety and wellbeing of clients and staff:

  • No smoking or vaping during services or in a client’s home.
  • You must not smoke near a client – if you need to smoke before or after a shift, do so well away from the property and ensure there is no smell of smoke on clothing or your vehicle if transporting clients.
  • Alcohol or drugs must never be consumed before or during a shift.
  • You must not attend work under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance that could impair judgment or safety.

If you are taking prescribed medication that might affect your ability to work safely, please inform the office confidentially.
