Dear valued customers, suppliers and general public,

Further to our original post on March 16th, Xpanse has continued to actively monitor the ongoing effects that COVID-19 is having on our community. As a result of advice from the WA state Government and the Federal Government, Xpanse have moved to Level 2 of our COVID-19 Response Plan which includes a range of increased social distancing measures.

Some of these increased measures include:
• Our workforce has been split into two groups, with alternating work from home/work in office days
• Our staff are no longer using public transport for any type of travel
• All non-essential, in-person meetings and onsite professional service engagements have been suspended

We are asking all our customers to support us in our approach by permitting Xpanse engineers to perform service works remotely where ever possible. We continue to support our XITIM managed service customers under these new guidelines, which we can do without interruption.

Xpanse are continuing to actively monitor the situation and will provide further updates as necessary.

Thanks for your continued support and understanding.

Dear valued customers, suppliers and general public,

This update is to inform you of what measures Xpanse are taking in light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 global pandemic.

Xpanse has implemented a multi-tiered COVID-19 Response Plan to assess and mitigate the risk this virus poses to ourselves and our customers. We are in active discussions with our suppliers and distributors to ensure that any potential supply chain issues are identified as early as possible. As of March 16th, all our suppliers and distributors are confident that their supply chain will not be affected in the near future, and we are continuing to actively engage with them to understand any changes as they come to light.

Internally, Xpanse have adopted social distancing and personal hygiene protocols and are prepared for increased isolation requirements including working from home, based on the advice of Government and Health Department officials. As of March 16th, all non-essential in-person meetings have been cancelled until further notice.

We appreciate your support and understanding as we work through these challenging times and we encourage you to check back here regularly as the situation evolves.
