Like all Australian organisations, the Bureau of Meteorology has been planning carefully for a range of potential outcomes and scenarios in relation to COVID-19.

At this stage, the Bureau will still provide Australia with timely forecasts, warnings and other important services and all products and services as normal.

Should it start to see impacts on its workforce from COVID-19 or from measures the Australian Government and state and territory governments put in place, the Bureau will focus its people on delivering the most critical services.

The Bureau of Meteorology already has a resilient operational model that allows it to draw on staff and capabilities from across our national footprint to provide services.

Its response measures are both flexible and scalable to help effectively manage the evolving situation with COVID-19.
