COVID-19 — appointments

Recently we posted information about the measures we are taking to promote the health of our patients and practice staff.

“We are continuing to make appointments with some additional options, precautions and recommendations”

Telehealth

The government recently expanded telehealth (video conferencing and phone consultations) to all Australians, where treatment can be safely delivered by phone or video conferencing.

Generally, when an appointment does not require a physical examination, we are pleased to offer telehealth services to patients. Please contact us to check whether your appointment can be offered through telehealth.

Social distancing

In addition to the measures we have already implemented to promote social distancing, we ask that patients attend their appointment at our consulting rooms without any additional visitors. We do understand that some patients prefer to bring another person (for example, a partner or parent) to their appointment for support, and we are happy to accommodate individual patients’ needs.

We also ask that parents DO NOT bring any children under the age of 18 to our consulting rooms, unless the child is the patient.

Please contact us if you need to reschedule your appointment, or to ask whether your appointment can proceed through telehealth.
