COVID-19

In line with the recent easing of COVID restrictions by the Victorian Government, it is no longer mandatory for patients to wear a mask on our premises. But we do still encourage their use when physical distancing is not possible (e.g. during consultations).

In line with the State Government’s latest announcement, all services at Alphington Sports Medicine Exercise + Rehabilitation will resume tomorrow, Thursday 18 February, including our Group Exercise Classes.

So, it’s back to business as (COVID) normal with masks required on premises**.

In line with the State Government’s announcement of a 5-day lockdown and return to Stage 4 restrictions, the following changes have been put in place at Alphington Sports Medicine Exercise + Rehabilitation.

In accordance with the Victorian Government's most recent announcements on the return to mandatory mask wearing in all indoor settings - All patients are required to wear a mask when on our premises. This includes when in Exercise Classes, and when social distancing can be adhered to (unless you have an exemption).

All practitioners continue to wear surgical grade masks, and gloves will be worn when clinically appropriate. All reception and administration staff continue to wear surgical grade masks also.

In accordance with the Victorian Government's most recent announcements on mask wearing, we have made some changes to our practices and procedures at Alphington Sports Medicine Clinic - for patients and staff.

In line with the most recent announcements from the Victorian Government in relation to COVID19 restrictions, as a health service, we remain open to the public for essential treatments.

Let’s work together to stop the spread of COVID-19!

If you haven’t already done so we encourage you to download the Australian Government’s COVIDSafe app.

The COVIDSafe app speeds up contacting people exposed to Coronavirus (COVID-19). It helps you and all of our communities. It also assists health officials to quickly understand and tackle the spread of  COVID-19.

As a health service, at this stage, we are remaining open to the public.

The health and safety of our patients and staff remains of upmost importance and we are continuing to follow the Government health recommendations.

While we are trying to minimise the level of disruption to our services and continue to offer what is essential for our patients’ well-being, it is still most important that we uphold a safe environment for all.

We are continuing to monitor developments and adjust our practices and procedures as required.  

Here’s an update of what we have been and are doing here to provide a safe environment for all staff and patients.

As a health orientated business we are obviously taking the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation very seriously. The health and safety of our patients and staff is of upmost importance and we are following Government health recommendations.

Taking into consideration the information and advice from health authorities, along with the fact that much of our work here is done in enclosed spaces and includes close contact, often touch, we have chosen to put certain measures in place to limit the risk of exposure.
