COVID-19

LATEST UPDATE:

To our Migynae patients,

We thank you for your ongoing patience whilst we navigate through another chapter of this pandemic. We appreciate your full support and hope to work together with you so we can continue to provide excellent care whilst staying Covid safe.

The Omicron variant of Covid -19 is highly contagious and requires extra vigilance. Therefore even if you have the mildest of symptoms we ask you to stay home and get tested. Furthermore, prior to your appointment we kindly ask you to check the latest exposure sites via https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/exposure-sites  and to refrain from attending our rooms if you are expected to isolate according the Vic Health advice.

As of 6 January 2022, the Department of Health has confirmed that elective surgery will be restricted to urgent Category 1 admissions. This is the most restrictive hospital admission criteria applied to date and is expected to last for at least 4 weeks. In vitro fertilisation is also affected.

For the safety of our patients and staff  we will default to Telehealth consultations at the present time. If it is necessary for you to attend the clinic then you will be offered a modified Face to Face consult. A modified Face to Face consult means that you arrive at the rooms and notify staff via phone that you have arrived and wait in your car. The doctor will ring you at the assigned time to conduct your appointment. The start of your consultation will be conducted in this manner and when necessary, you will be asked to come into the rooms to finalise any part of your consultation that requires Face to Face interaction with the aim of minimising exposure times to reduce the risk of Covid-19. We hope you understand that all the Covid safe measures are for your own safety and we thank you again for your cooperation.
