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 close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
• Have you had a COVID-19 test?
• Do you have fever, flu-like or respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, sputum, shortness of breath), fatigue, myalgia (muscle pain), headache? 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.

All patients and carers will be required to wear a face mask on attendance at our sites.

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

Under Second Step Restrictions in Metropolitan Melbourne the Department of Health & Human Services advise:

• You can leave home to receive health care or attend medical appointments. If you need to see a doctor or health care professional in person, you should do so. Do not put off getting medical care. Your doctor or health care professional can provide advice on how to stay safe. A telehealth appointment may be an alternative for you.
• You can leave home to accompany someone for essential medical treatment if you are a parent, guardian or necessary support person.

This information is correct as at 1 October 2020. Please visit the DHHS Website for current advice.

On request, ESA can provide the patient attending an appointment a travel letter confirming attendance at a medical appointment for themselves and their parent, guardian or necessary support person.
