ALERT: Due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak, if you or your family have travelled anywhere overseas in the last 14 days, or if you have come in contact with anyone who has or may have the coronavirus, AND/OR you have cold/flu symptoms please CALL US AND DO NOT attend the surgery.
Thank you for your cooperation.
WAITING ROOM OPEN
From Saturday 4th July we are reopening our waiting room for patients who do NOT have a fever or sore throat, cough , cold or flu symptoms. To adhere to government social distancing recommendations we can only have 6 people in the waiting room at one time. Please be mindful of this restriction and if the waiting room is full, wait outside and give us a call to let us know you have arrived.
SORE THROAT, COUGH, COLD, or FLU symptoms
Please do NOT present to the surgery. Ring us 0738180700 and we can offer you a telephone consultation.
TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS
For vulnerable patients to minimise their risk of attending the surgery we are offering telephone consultations. These will be bulk-billed through Medicare for all patients. This includes routine consultations and consultations for GP mental Health plans and GP Management Plans for chronic disease such as diabetes.
TESTING FOR COVID 19
Testing is now available in Queensland for anyone with a fever and acute respiratory symptoms [cough, sore throat, shortness of breath]. If you are unwell please contact us for a phone appointment and the doctor will make arrangements for you to be tested for COVID 19. We do NOT have facilities here to examine or test respiratory patients but can direct you to the nearest testing facility or dedicated respiratory clinic. Whilst waiting for your test result you will be advised to self-isolate.
We are taking these steps in line with government recommendations to protect our patients, staff, and Doctors. We will continue to try to provide services to our patients to the best of our ability in these difficult circumstances. If we have arranged to fax your prescription to a pharmacy, please allow us time to process these requests as our staff are dealing with many requests a day. Please be patient as we are being overwhelmed with enquiries and will respond as soon as we can.
