Covid-19 update 2023

In line with Queensland Health we are currently following the traffic light system. The traffic light level – red, amber, or green – is based on the current level of risk in the community. Currently Queensland is on a green light with the following advice:
 
Green (baseline) means there are low rates of community transmission and Queensland is not in a COVID-19 wave.
 
When the traffic light is Green, we recommend you:
– stay home if you’re sick
– keep up to date with your vaccinations
– maintain good hygiene
 
– wear a mask if required by a healthcare provider, venue, or household.
 
If you get COVID-19:
– stay home until you’re well again
– wear a mask for 7 days after you test positive
– avoid visiting hospitals, aged care, or disability care for 7 days after you test unless you are receiving care
– ask household members to closely monitor symptoms.
 
Patients who have symptoms will still be asked to wait in their car/outside or book a telehealth appointment if eligible.
 
Covid-19 vaccinations are available for all eligible patients. We currently have Pfizer adult and children vaccinations available.
 
We will keep you updated on here and our Facebook and Instagram pages.
 

Please call reception on

07 3341 7244

to book your appointment today. Appointments for vaccinations are unable to be booked online as we only provide this service during designated vaccination clinic hours. 

Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this pandemic.
