What is the current guidelines for aged care facilities regarding staff wearing masks as a general rule? Is it up to the individual organisations?

Thanks Glenys you are correct, I had meant that is what is being worn as a minimum, I should have been more clear.

Please see attached
The below link to the guide to the conventional use of PPE directs that for short duration episodes of care for SCOVID/COVID patients a surgical mask may be worn however the attached would indicate that for all care of SCOVID/COVID residents an N95/P2 respirator must be worn.
I believe that the question was in reference to the care of all residents (not SCOVID/COVID) however, and I would agree with Kelly that we are wearing surgical masks and eye protection.
Not a simple world we are living in!
