As registered health professionals, we are staying up to date with recommendations on how we should manage the risks of COVID. A few of the measures we have taken to ensure your safety are as follows, however if you have any other concerns, please call and talk to a team member to help discuss your individual treatment and needs:

• Removing magazines and toys from the waiting room
• Ensuring that social distancing is maintained in the waiting room and reception counter
• Using a special mouth wash which eliminates viruses from the mouth prior to treatment
• Not seeing patients who have been in contact with a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 case, nor people who are showing cold or flu symptoms
• Providing hand sanitation prior to patients entering the building
• Ensuring that personal protective equipment used in the clinic is, as usual, medical grade and approved by the Therapeutic Goods Association of Australia
• Disinfecting the clinic several times per day with viracidal disinfectants
• Ensuring that staff are not showing any cold or flu symptoms and haven’t been in contact with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19
