COVID / Mask Update

Victoria’s Chief Health Office Brett Sutton has warned Victoria is entering a new COVID-19 wave ahead of the festive season. The community is seeing variants which are more transmissible than previous strains of the virus but not more severe. #

As a result, masks are still required to be worn by anyone entering or visiting the clinic. This is to protect the doctors, nurses, staff and patients who are in the clinic.

If you have any flu or COVID symptoms please notify our receptionists when booking your appointment and your doctor can see you outside if required or they can provide a telehealth appointment for you to assess your condition and provide medical advice.

Take Care and Stay Safe
