Coronavirus COVID-19 Alert

The health and well being of our patients, doctors and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic is our first priority.

We have taken steps to reduce the risk of infection through:

• Screening all patient attendances;
• Screening all doctors and employees; and
• Increased cleaning and hygiene practices.

If you are attending our site as a patient or carer of a patient, you will be asked:

• Have you been in an affected area of NSW (i.e. Northern Beaches of Sydney) since 11 December or in close contact of someone who has been?
• Have you been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 or requested to self-isolate in the last 14 days?
• Have you had a COVID-19 test in the last 14 days?
• Do you have loss or change in sense of smell or taste, fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath and/or running nose? This question still applies even if you have a negative test result for COVID-19. We can’t risk other patients, doctors or staff becoming sick.
• Do you have symptoms of conjunctivitis?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, our team will assess the urgency of your condition. Your appointment will either be rescheduled or you will be referred to your GP or an assessment centre at a hospital that also has an ophthalmology department.

Those attending our consulting suites at Cabrini Hospital Malvern are subject to the hospital’s Visitor Restrictions.

Under COVIDSafe Summer restrictions in Victoria the Department of Health & Human Services advise:

Can I see a doctor or access medical services?

Yes. You shouldn’t delay seeing a doctor or accessing medical services. If you are unwell it is important that you see a healthcare professional, including to:… visit a doctor or other health professional or care service, or to obtain medicine and medical supplies.

You may access these services anywhere in Victoria.
