ALL DENTAL PROCEDURES RECOMMENCED ON FRIDAY 22 OCTOBER 2021

Our approach to COVID-19

Social Distancing

  • In alignment with the Australian Government and their policy regarding social distancing, we are lengthening our appointment times to ensure the waiting room has no more than one person per 2m2.

Sanitation and Cleaning

  • Ensure all patients wash their hands thoroughly upon entering the premises and exiting the surgery
  • Regular antiseptic cleaning of commonly used areas such as the waiting room, reception area as well as all door handles and taps. This is done after every patient visit
  • All reading material and children’s toys have been removed from the waiting room to minimise the risk of cross infection
  • Infection control procedures within the surgery comply with the ADA protocols and remain unchanged
