Important! COVID-19 Update

Dear valued patients and parents,

To protect you, your family and our staff from the Covid-19 pandemic, we are following and adopting preventative measures from the Department of Health.

We ask that you kindly reschedule your appointment if you are experiencing fever, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath, returned from overseas within the last 14 days, or have been in contact with someone diagnosed with or testing for Covid-19 infection. Your privacy will be respected.

Coming for you appointment

• To facilitate maximum interpersonal distancing, your next appointment may be reschedule to minimize the number of patients in the waiting room in any one time. Please try to be punctual for your appointment and please limit to one extra person accompanying the patient.
• We ask that additional extra family members wait outside of the office. We understand that some patients will need to wait perhaps in the car with other children.
•  As long as you have your mobile phone with you, we can update you and make the next appointment while you are outside the office.

For now, we will continue with our normal business hours. We are monitoring the current legislation and consumer sentiment and acting accordingly. We are primarily concerned with being available to provide necessary care to our patients.

We encourage keeping appointments for ongoing active treatment that requires treatment to be done now.

Please ask to speak to Dr Natasha Misquitta if you have any concerns.

Temporary Reception Room Changes

We will be removing communal items that may be touched by multiple people thoughout the days such as magazines, toys, brochures.

There will be hand sanitizers located throughout the clinic, please help yourselves to these Before and After your appointments.

We will be disinfecting commonly touched areas, and all door handles at regular intervals during the day.
