COVID-19 Advice
We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and information as it becomes available. Whether you fall into the 'panic buying toilet paper' group or are in the 'not particularly concerned' group, the reality is COVID-19 is here in Perth, right now. The risk to each individual is low, and the majority of people who get the virus will recover.
However, we need to work together as a community to reduce the spread, minimise the risk for those who are in high-risk categories (elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions) and relieve the pressure on our medical system and the staff of our Doctor's Surgeries and Hospitals.
At this stage, we have not been advised to close the practice and will continue to provide chiropractic, massage and acupuncture treatments in accordance with the Australian Government's recommendations.
In order to keep our patients and our staff safe, please take note of the below:
We ask you to call and reschedule your appointment if you feel unwell or have travelled outside of Australia recently.
We ask that you please sanitise your hands on arrival. Hand sanitiser is available on the front counter.
We have increased our hygiene standards and are regularly cleaning and disinfecting treatment tables and other surfaces.
When paying for your appointment, we suggest paying by card where possible, including pay pass to minimise the spread of germs with cash handling.
We are spacing out our appointments to reduce the volume of people in the practice at one time.
We have seen an increase in appointment times over the last fortnight and recommend that you book in advance to avoid any delay in your treatment plan.
Thank you
Chris, Cherie & the Canning Healthcare Team
