Our current policy to manage COVID-19 and Influenza (flu) is:
– Symptomatic patients must wear a mask inside the surgery. Symptomatic patients will have to provide their own mask. We have no capacity to provide masks.
– Symptomatic patients are asked to complete a RAT (Rapid Antigen Test) before attending their appointment here, and only attend if the RAT test is negative.
– If you have COVID-19 and/or flu and are an existing patient of the main surgery, and you wish to speak to a doctor you can book a Telehealth appointment. To be bulk-billed for this you must be an existing patient of the main surgery, have had an in-person consultation with one of our doctors inside the main surgery in the past 12 months, and have a current Medicare card number. Please ring our Reception to book a Telehealth appointment. Telehealth appointments cannot be booked online.
– If you have COVID-19 you can only enter the surgery 7 days from the date of the positive test if you have no symptoms.
– We may have immunocompromised patients attending the practice. Please follow our requirements to protect all parties including yourself.
