Telehealth Consultations are available for your safety for those patients not requiring acute care. We will contact you prior to your appointment to discuss this with you if this is an option. For those patients who still do need Face to Face consultations for specific care like splinting and casting or hands on acute care you may continue to attend but please observe the precautions as listed below.
If you are planning on attending please ensure that you don’t have even the mildest of symptoms including sore throat, cough, fever or loss of smell. Additionally, if you or a member of your household has been to a known Sydney hotspot in the past 2 weeks we ask that you phone ahead beforehand to discuss your risk. If you or a member of your immediate household is directly contacted as a known contact by NSW Health you must isolate at home. Lastly, please attend your appointment by yourself, unless you require assistance from a carer to minimise people in the common areas.
The wearing of surgical masks is mandatory for all patients and staff working indoors. If you have an exemption for wearing a mask for medical reasons please organise a Telehealth appointment by phoning the clinic on 43248081.

Wash your hands frequently
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds.
Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Maintain social distancing
Maintain at least 1.5 metre distance between yourself and other people and avoid handshakes or other contact. Please avoid bringing in another person with you to your appointment unless absolutely necessary for supervisory reasons.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body.
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention BUT call your GP in advance. The GP may refer you to the COVID -19 clinic at Gosford or Wyong Hospital for screening but you must ring ahead and make an appointment. Gosford 43205055 or Wyong 43949200. There is another drive in clinic at the EV church on Terrigal Drive.
Why? Your GP will be able to determine the best course of action for you. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
