CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE Keeping our community safe
Our mob is at high risk from Coronavirus so we have made some changes to how we run the clinic to try and protect our patients and staff. The best thing you can do to stop the spread is stay at home.
AMS Redfern remains OPEN but we have transitioned from face-to-face to phone based consults.
☎️ Our consults will now be done via phone. If you are sick please call to book an appointment with a GP who will phone back at an agreed time and conduct the consultation over the phone.
✋ This includes all 'walk-ins’. Please stay at home and phone 9319 5823 for an appointment.
👥 After your phone consult, if you need to be seen in person we will arrange this in the clinic. Our clinic operating hours have changed: Mon-Fri 8am-5pm till further notice.
If you would like a flu shot, phone and let us know. We will contact you when vaccines become available. We need to ensure we stick to strict social distancing rules to keep everyone safe.
❤️ We have not taken this decision lightly. Our priority remains the health and wellbeing of our community, clients and staff and providing the best and ongoing healthcare. We need to take these measures now to slow the spread of Coronavirus and protect our community.
Coronavirus is an evolving situation. We will continue to provide updates via Facebook.
Please spread the word, not the virus. We are stronger together
