On Monday 28th February, the State Government announced that WA will enter Level 2 restrictions from Thursday 3rd March. The restrictions include:
Indoor mask-wearing requirements have been expanded to include patrons in Year 3 and above.
Capacity limits will be implemented for our gym and group fitness classes in line with the directions.

MONDAY 31ST JANUARY 2022
Member Update – Important Announcement
On Saturday 29 January 2022, the Western Australian Government updated the Directions relating to proof of vaccination requirements, which become effective from today, Monday 31 January 2022.
What you need to know:
From Monday 31 January 2022, visitors to our gym, and group fitness class participants, will be required to show proof of vaccination to visit the Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre. Given the last-minute changes, we wanted to let you know of the following:
Who will require proof of vaccination (or exemption)?
- Gym users (members and casuals)
- Group fitness participants
Based on the current Directions, proof of vaccination will not be required for individuals under 16 years of age, individual pool users, and those participating in, or spectating in sports-based competitions or programs that meet the definition of community-based sports.
Where and when will I need to show it?
Gym users and group fitness participants will be required to show proof of vaccination at the main reception upon entry. Members will still be able to book in for group fitness on the app but are required to show your proof of vaccination before entering.
At this stage, the Centre is unable to store records relating to your vaccination status due to privacy reasons. However, we recommend members and visitors use the Service WA App.
What are acceptable forms of proof of vaccination? (Or exemption)
The acceptable forms of proof of vaccination are the same as those required at other venues and events across Western Australia. Further information about acceptable forms of vaccination can be located on the WA Government website or by clicking here.
What else do I need to do?
- Wear a mask at all times, unless during vigorous exercise or swimming;
- Check in using the SAFE WA app or the Service WA app, or by seeing a member of staff;
- Stay at home if you’re feeling unwell, and consider getting tested
- Check out social media pages for any updates or changes
- Follow all directions of our team members when visiting the Centre.
Belmont Oasis is required to adhere to all Directions issued by the WA Government relating to Covid-19. We ask our members and community to be patient with our staff, who are doing the very best that we can during these extraordinary circumstances.
We respectfully ask that you please be kind and patient as we navigate these new requirements. Patrons who are abusive or aggressive towards our staff will be asked to leave the Centre immediately.
If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us at belmont@bluefit.com.au.
TUESDAY 18TH JANUARY 2022
Member Update – Important Announcement
Based on the latest health advice, from Monday, 31 January 2022, proof of vaccination requirements will apply statewide and be expanded to include new higher-risk venues, including, gyms, fitness centres, and indoor facilities.
As of Monday, 31 January, everyone aged 16 years and over must provide proof of vaccination to visit the Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre. This includes using the facility for casual and members. Visitors and members will need to show proof of vaccination at reception and provide it on request from authorised law enforcement officers.
To visit Belmont Oasis from Monday, 31 January, one of our reception staff will need to sight your vaccination certificate on the Service WA app or an approved form along with personal identification.
What we’re doing to help our members
If you are unable to access your membership from 31 January due to the new State Government Restrictions, we are able to offer free suspensions to put your membership on hold for up to six weeks to enable members to obtain the vaccination. To do this, please see our reception or complete a suspension form online via My Portal, and one of our employees will be able to assist you.
Additional details about the restrictions and any other changes will be posted on our website shortly. If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us at belmont@bluefit.com.au.
Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook for further updates!

Important Changes To Be Aware Of:
- For the next phase of restrictions, a maximum of 150 people are permitted indoors at any one time. This will be monitored by our team who are not included in the total count. If this threshold is reached, customers may be required to wait a short period of time before entering the facility.
- Masks remain mandatory indoors for people 12 years of age and above while visiting the Centre unless participating in vigorous exercise.
- Check in on the SAFE WA App on entry remains a condition of entry for all persons visiting the Centre.

Swim School and Kids Sports Lesson:
While the facility has been closed, we put all lessons on hold free of charge, with payments to be adjusted (pro-rata) upon reopening. Lessons will recommence from Tuesday, 06 July. There have been no changes to any enrolments, and places have been held in classes on the same day and time scheduled prior to the lockdown.

Direct debit lesson payments will recommence on Tuesday, 06 July, 2021.
Keeping You Informed:
We’ll be sure to keep our community in the loop if there are further updates, so keep an eye on our website and make sure you’re following us on Facebook.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support during this period.
FRIDAY 2ND JULY
Dear Members and Guests,
You would all be aware by now that the Perth and Peel lockdown will finish at 12.01 Saturday morning, but some interim post-lockdown measures will apply for the following three days. This includes a strict 20 person capacity limit at any given time for public venues and would apply to the Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre.
After careful consideration we’ve made the decision to remain closed until a further easing of restrictions. Although we’d love to welcome back our members, families and children to the Oasis, with thousands per day visiting the Centre, we’re sure you can understand that opening for 20 people is not feasible as we’d have to turn many of our valued members and customers away.
If all goes to plan restrictions look set to ease again on Tuesday, 06 July, 2021 and with a capacity limit of 150 people we will be able to operate. Should this advice change we will be in touch to let you know.
We know you’ll be disappointed by this news, but we all must do our part to keep our community safe and healthy.
Whilst closed, our teams continue to oversee some exciting upgrades to the Oasis, supporting the City of Belmont. Contractors continue to work on upgrading the health club change rooms and group fitness studios. We encourage you to stay virtually connected with us on Facebook, Instagram or the Oasis website as we’ll be sharing updates from behind our closed doors.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support during this period.
Stay safe,
Belmont Oasis Team

Following recent announcements made by the State Government regarding stage 3 easing of restrictions, our gym facilities will now be fully open as of Monday 8th June. This means that you can once again enjoy individual gym training without having to book into a gym floor session and there is no time limit on your workout! To access Group Fitness classes we encourage you to use the BlueFit Health Club App as you can now book into your class 7 days in advance when using the app.
All members will have access to the gym from Monday 8th June and the debit will recommence on Friday 19th June. For upfront members, we have changed your membership expiry date to account for the days the facility was closed.
If you’re not ready to come back to the gym just yet, the Bfit@Home platform remains available to you and includes live classes & at-home workouts. For those who would like to continue their suspension please click here to complete your complimentary suspension form.
The pool remains closed for the time being but we will provide an update on this as we progress. At this stage, we are aiming for a July re-open.
Please also take note of our amended opening hours below.
Your health and hygiene are of the upmost importance to us, please ensure upon your return you follow the strict health and hygiene measures. For more information about the measures in place please see below.

We understand many will be disappointed that we have not opened the aquatic facilities.
