🩺 Latest Update on COVID-19
At our practice, your health and the safety of our community remain our top priority. What to do if you're unwell
If you have flu-like or respiratory symptoms (for example: cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever, shortness of breath):
- Please call our reception before coming into the clinic. Let us know your symptoms so we can advise the best appointment or care pathway.
- If you must attend the clinic and are symptomatic, please wear a face mask when entering the practice.
If you test positive for COVID-19
Current guidance (NSW) no longer mandates automatic self-isolation for all positive cases, but it is strongly recommended that you:
- Stay home until your acute symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat) have resolved. https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/translated/topic-isolation.aspx?utm_source=chatgpt.com
- Wear a mask in shared indoor spaces and avoid visiting hospitals, aged-care or disability settings while infectious.
- If you are at higher risk of severe illness, consult your doctor promptly as you may be eligible for antiviral treatment.
If you’ve been exposed to someone with COVID-19
While isolation is no longer required in many cases, you should:
- Monitor for symptoms for several days.
- Consider using a rapid antigen test (RAT) if you feel unwell.
- Wear a mask in indoor or crowded spaces until you’re symptom-free.
General prevention tips
To help protect yourself and others:
- Stay home when unwell.
- Practice good hand and respiratory hygiene: wash hands, cover coughs/sneezes, dispose of tissues.
- Consider wearing a mask indoors or in crowded settings, particularly if you’re symptomatic or vulnerable.
- Stay up to date with your COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations.
For any questions or if you're unsure of what to do, please call our reception team — we’re here to guide you and ensure you receive the appropriate care safely.
