COVID-19 and Stable

If you have an appointment booked with us between August 13th to 19th, our team will be in contact with you shortly to discuss your options.

Under strict government guidelines, we are able to provide in-person care this lockdown, if your condition is considered ‘essential’, that being in the absence of care there may be a change/deterioration in functional independence necessitating escalation of care (e.g. a requirement for specialist input/review, an increase in care needs and/or alternate accommodation, avoiding a hospital admission or emergency department presentation).

We understand it’s difficult for a patient to establish this themselves, for this reason we ask you to call us to ascertain if you are eligible for the appointment.

If you’re experiencing any symptoms of flu, fever, sore throat or cough, we cannot make a booking.

We must all play our role in keeping the people of Victoria safe.
