Coronavirus general guidelines
When visiting the clinic, we ask you to please remember these general principles to ensure we all have a good clinic experience, minimise risk and stay safe.
• Please don’t bring anything unnecessary into the building. This includes pets, large bags, grocery shopping, and other people who are not using our services.
• Please try to keep your hands to yourself and try not to touch anything unnecessary while in the clinic.
• Please arrive at the time of your appointment to prevent unnecessary time in the reception
• Please ensure you remain at least 2m away from any other person in the clinic (except when being seen by your). Practitioner)
• If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, please do not attend and follow Government guidelines.


Consent
Each client must complete and sign the online consent form prior to arrival. Without this form the practitioner may option to refrain from treatment.
Gov’t legislation states visit to the osteopath and physiotherapist are considered a legitimate reason to leave the home. So you can feel reassured that if you have a problem I can legally help you.
