Patient Alert – Coronavirus

We appreciate that there is a great deal of concern surrounding the coronavirus outbreak.

As a practice we are taking precautionary infection measures to ensure the health of all our patients.

Therefore , if you have a fever, dry cough, sore throat or shortness of breathe AND have travelled overseas recently, or have recently had close contact with someone suspected or diagnosed with coronavirus, please advise Reception when booking an appointment.
Your call will be triaged to a clinical member of staff who will determine how urgently you need to be seen or if you need to present to the hospital Emergency Department .

For further information or advice, Healthdirect Australia has set up a dedicated coronavirus page at www.healthdirect.gov.au/coronavirus and a helpline at 1800 022 222.
