COVID-19 Update

PLease be advised that there is an option available to you to have your scheduled appointment via Telehealth options (ZOOM is the platform we are using) or even by phone.

This way, you can still receive your treatment, from the comfort of your own home (fluffy slippers optional) without facing a potential exposure to COVID-19 or potentially spreading it to others (which is doing our part for public health). This is particularly important to those in high risk groups (over 70, immune compromised, pregnant, with small children under 12 months or those from Aboriginal or Torres strait Islander over 50 years old). In addition, you don’t have to worry about the drive to/from your appointment, petrol or  parking related costs  as Telehealth is very easy to use (and we can help you set it up)

In addition, we would also need you to read and sign the informed consent form to use these services. We would email this.

Generally, any team member who is feeling unwell or showing signs or symptoms of being unwell, will remain at home.
