Any partners, friends or additional parents/carers must wait in the car.... - We have placed our chairs 1.5m apart to ensure we meet strict social distancing criteria. We ask that you please do not move the chairs when you are in the practice. - Patients who have travelled or had close contact with a returned traveller are asked to not present to the practice, and observe the mandatory isolation laws. - Patients with flu symptoms, cough or fever are asked to call the practice from their car when they arrive, and wait in their car until their doctor is ready. Reception will call when it’s your turn. - There is hand sanitiser on the reception desk, please use some when you arrive. - We have marked out the waiting room floor for patients waiting to speak to reception, please wait behind the line to be called forward. - We are regularly cleaning the surfaces of the practice with alcohol wipes and viral cleansers to ensure a clean environment for everyone. - If you would prefer to wait in the car or outside, please let reception know and we are happy to accommodate.

15.01.2022 Changes we've made to help stop the spread need to continue into the future. Together let's keep going and stay safe.

15.01.2022 Latest update, we should still carry a mask just in case, but not mandatory to wear one. Well done everyone, no cases of community transmission.

14.01.2022 Don't forget to social distance and sanitise. If you have symptoms get tested and self isolate. Keep up the good work!

11.01.2022 Please see the below advice from Townsville Hospital. For the safety of our patients, if you meet the criteria for testing as mentioned, we are asking that you present to the hospital for testing. If you are unwell but have not travelled, been in close contact with someone who has travelled or been in close contact with a confirmed case, you do not meet the criteria for Covid-19 testing and it is best you just rest and wait it out like any other illness.

08.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day. This is even more important to ask in this significant and isolating year.

Never be afraid to ask if someone is ok? That conversation could change their life! If you need health professional assistance, please contact our clinic on 4723 5700 for an appointment.

02.01.2022 A lot of great information about receiving your flu vaccination early is being circulated by the government and media. However, many practices have experienced difficulties in obtaining enough vaccines from suppliers for private stock and the government for funded stock. We are still awaiting our supply of government funded vaccines for vulnerable patients (ie., those with asthma, diabetes and other chronic illnesses), and have not yet been able to order more 65years + vacci...nes. Please be patient with us as we endeavour to obtain enough stock to help everyone. Please remember to call the practice to book an appointment if you’re wanting your flu vaccination so we can allocate time with a nurse and ensure we have enough stock for you. Due to limits on numbers inside the practice and pressures on our nursing staff currently, we cannot accept walk-ins for flu vaccinations. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

02.01.2022 Yet again, we are having phone troubles. We are doing our best to get assistance from Telstra to resolve this issue. We understand that many people are panicked given the current events, if you seek information specific to your symptoms, travel or exposure history, please contact 13HEALTH and they will be able to direct you. Thank you for your patience.
