Anglican Bishop of Newcastle and president of Anglican Care Peter Stuart confirmed that the four centres were locked down after a staff member tested positive at three of the facilities while a visitor who had attended a fourth had also been confirmed as a positive case.
He said none of the residents or other staff were showing symptoms and resident vaccination rates for the third dose were high.
"We are working closely with the State and Commonwealth authorities," Dr Stuart said.
