As you are well aware, Australia is currently in the midst of a Coronavirus outbreak. We want you to know we are taking this seriously and closely monitoring the guidelines of:
- Australian Dept of Health
- WA Dept of Health
- Australian Physiotherapy Association
We would encourage you to also use these evidence based resources for trusted up-to-date information. At present, there is no evidence of community transmission in WA. However, it goes without saying, that in accordance with the new Australian guidelines, we will be requesting:
1. any clients who return from overseas travel to postpone any appointments scheduled during the first two weeks upon returning to Australia (as you will be required by the Australian Government to self-isolate. This new direction is effective midnight tonight).
2. of course, if you are unwell, (whether you've travelled or not), we would also request you contact us to re-arrange your appointment
As a low volume clinic, we understand the risk to our team members and valued clients is extremely low; however we want you to know we are going above and beyond the requirements and already taking extra precautions:
- all patients, clients and visitors will be requested to alcohol rub their hands on arrival (and encouraged to do so as you leave as well)
- we've increased our thorough cleaning protocols, to include regular disinfecting & anti-bacterial cleaning of frequently touched surfaces and equipment
- any team members who are unwell will not be attending the clinic until cleared
As per the current recommendations of Australia's Chief Medical Officer, it's otherwise 'business as usual' at Mint Wellbeing. We will continue to be guided by the most up-to-date and reliable information from the Dept of Health.
We exist entirely to improve the health of you, our local community. We will be here for you as we all strive to best navigate these ever-changing circumstances. We appreciate your adherence to these new government guidelines and thank you for your ongoing support over the coming months.
