We're all in this together!  And this is how we're keeping YOU safe.

• Enforcing social distancing rules (as per the current state government guidelines);
• Cleaning our waiting room and doctors room/examination room on a regular basis;
• Limiting the amount of patients and visitors/support persons in the waiting room at any one time.
• Our staff & Dr Meade are fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 and up to-date with boosters.

We ask that you please use the hand-sanitiser provided upon entering and leaving our rooms, and that you check in with the Queensland Check-In App. If you do not have access to the app, please inform our staff at reception for manual check-in. 

From 17 December 2021 the following rules apply, as per the state government guidelines for business health and safety, when entering the hospital premises for an appointment or medical treatment.

In "vulnerable settings" (example: residential aged care, hospitals, prisons, disability care accommodation); 

All visitors must be VACCINATED. No unvaccinated visitors are allowed on-site.

However; UNVACCINATED people can visit if for the purposes of medical treatment, end-of-life visits, childbirth, or emergency situations.

You will be asked to show your proof of vaccination.

Please ensure you have your proof of vaccination certificate on hand and/or linked to your Queensland Check-In App.

Please see an excerpt from the Queensland Health website below regarding vaccination status in a health care setting.

" Restrictions for unvaccinated people

From 17 December 2021, unvaccinated people will be unable to:

• visit vulnerable settings, including hospitals, residential aged care, disability accommodation services, and prisons. This does not apply to residents and patients of these facilities, and there will be some exceptions for medical treatment, end-of-life visits, childbirth and emergency situations
• attend hospitality venues such as hotels, pubs, clubs, taverns, bars, restaurants or cafes
• attend indoor entertainment venues such as nightclubs, live music venues, karaoke bars, concerts, theatres or cinemas
• attend outdoor entertainment activities such as sporting stadiums, theme parks or tourism experience like reef excursions
• attend festivals – either indoor or outdoor – such as musical festivals, folk festivals or arts festivals
• attend Queensland Government owned galleries, museums or libraries.

If anyone attending a wedding is unvaccinated, it is restricted to a maximum of 20 people.

Funerals will not be limited to only vaccinated people. This is because funeral sometimes occur at short notice and often under difficult circumstances making it hard to ensure all attendees are vaccinated. However, funerals will still be required to comply with occupant density limits and caps on attendees to minimise the risk of transmission.

These restrictions target non-essential leisure activities which are not essential for people to meet their basic needs, but present a considerable risk to contributing to an outbreak in our community when our borders reopen."
