Your safety is paramount to us, as is the safety of our staff. Therefore, in response to the Covid-19 (Corona Virus) outbreak, we have reviewed our hygiene policies and procedures to ensure our practice is strictly adhering to Government recommendations and restrictions.
Our Covid-19 Response
Below are details of what we have implemented in our Practice:
- All staff members have increased their focus and diligence regarding cleaning and sanitising high-touch areas of the clinic
- All members of staff, including our cleaner, are fully vaccinated
- Any person (staff, patients, visitors) who has any symptoms of Covid-19 (including any of the following – fever, runny nose, sore throat, cough, headache, aches and pains, loss of taste or smell, shortness of breath) are asked to not enter the rooms, and to seek medical attention, which may include a Covid-19 test. If the test is positive, they will need to self-isolate for 5 days from the positive test. They should seek medical advice regarding monitoring of their condition and possible treatment regimens – either through their usual GP or through SCUH. Here is a link to the QLD Health Department website for up to date information – https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19
- Hand sanitiser will be supplied at the entry to the rooms and should be used prior to entry
- All equipment is sanitised and/or sterilised according to regulations
- We have asked staff to remain at home if they are not well and/or have potentially come into contact with anyone who may have Corona virus
How You Can Help:
- Please wash and/or sanitise your hands before your appointment. Hand sanitiser has been placed at the front door for your use.
- If you are feeling unwell, eg, experiencing any cold or flu symptoms or signs, we ask you postpone your appointment, take extra care of yourself and seek further medical advice. If you are unsure, please get a Covid test
