The Department for Trade and Investment, SA Health, South Australia Police and Flight Training Adelaide (FTA) have worked together to develop an operational plan for the site to ensure it satisfies SA Health and SA Police quarantine compliance standards.

This plan has been approved by the Chief Public Health Officer for South Australia.

Flight Training Adelaide will operate the Parafield quarantine facility as a commercial service provider and will be totally responsible for operation of the site. The site will be governed by a Quarantine Compliance Agreement with SA Health.

Security and health services will be provided by service contractors approved by SA Health and SA Police, the quantity and capability of the services will be governed by the Quarantine Compliance Agreement.

SA Health and SA Police will have a constant presence at the Parafield quarantine facility, their role will be to oversee adherence to the compliance agreement.
