The outbreak of COVID-19 (Corona Virus) has effected all organisations, big and small – and GEGAC is no different. BUT, we are, and always will be, here to provide support for our Community.
There are some changes to the way GEGAC will be operating until life returns to normal. Many of our staff are now working remotely or from home and a number of our office sites are closed. This situation is constantly changing – please check back here regularly for updates.
