Covid-19 Conditions
UPDATED 18/10/2022
Thanks for visiting our updated COVID INFORMATION.
We know things keep changing, so here's what we have decided is the best application of the requirements for the clinic. We believe these measures should help us to minimise the risk of infection in the clinic.
Thanks a million for your patience and indulgence.
PLEASE CALL US BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT IF YOU:
- Have had any recent COVID-like symptoms (see below for a reminder);
- Have been advised to isolate.
COVID CONTAINMENT MEASURES
TOPIC | DETAIL |
---|---|
ATTEND ALONE |
ALL PATIENTS MUST attend appointments ALONE. Others who arrive with a patient will be politely asked to wait outside the building UNLESS:
|
SANITISING |
Please sanitise your hands on entry and endeavour to touch as few items in the clinic as possible. |
COVID DIAGNOSIS |
Until cleared. |
CLOSE CONTACT |
CHIROACTIVE is categorised as a Tier 2 setting, therefore close contacts cannot enter for 7 days after exposure date. Please check the SA Health website for definition of a close contact. |
WAITING ROOM |
Limit of one person at a time in the waiting room. |
MASKS |
Masks are no longer required. |
DON’T BE EARLY |
Patients will be asked to wait until at least 5 mins prior to their appointment time before entering the waiting room. |
CONSULT DURATION |
Due to current close contact rules, appointments will be kept to less than 15 mins in duration wherever possible. This means adjustment and multiple laser sessions will not be available at the same consult for now. Additional appointments at a different time will need to be made. Consideration will be made when billing for these services to ensure the patient is not financially disadvantaged. |
RAT TESTS |
PLEASE NOTE : As RAT tests are NOT MANDATED, difficult and costly to acquire in large numbers they will not be utilised at this time. |
SOCIAL DISTANCING |
Please stay at least 1.5 metres away from staff and other patients wherever possible. |
BATHROOM USE |
Please minimise bathroom use. Apparently this is a significant risk factor. Having said that we understand if the excitement is all too much:-) |
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience, however, a single COVID or even a COLD exposure could close the clinic and deprive all patients of care.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE!!
