We would like to thank everyone for their patience this weekend. Most of you would have viewed the official government website and read the current Directive that applies to South East Queensland.
The current lockdown period is from 4pm Saturday, 31st July 2021 until 4pm Tuesday, 3rd August 2021.
Ingestive Therapists
(Naturopaths, Nutritionists, Herbalists, Ayurveda, Homeopathy)
You can work if your work can be done via telehealth.
Manual Therapists
(Remedial Therapists and Myotherapists, Shiatsu and Oriental Remedial Therapists)
The current directive states:
"Massage therapy for the management or prevention of a disease, injury or condition, provided by a qualified massage therapist."
If you are able to justify the work you are doing under the above definition, then you can continue to work.
Again, if you have the ability to work via Telehealth, we suggest using that method.
AHPRA Registered Therapists
(Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine)
Allied Health, including AHPRA-regulated Allied Health is not restricted. You may continue working.
Mobile Clinic
No
Home-based Clinic
No. Unless it is via telehealth
Masks
This requirement has not changed for these locations. Masks are still required.
Restricted Areas
Restricted access is in place for the lockdown areas. This means that you will not be able to go in and out of the lockdown areas unless you meet one of the criteria listed in the Directive. Please click the link to read further.
You can also contact the 134COVID (13 42 68) if you would like clarification on the direction/restrictions.
Financial Support
The Queensland Government will be offering financial support to those who need it. This will be available to apply for from 7th August 2021. Please click the link to read more about what is on offer.
We understand everyone's frustration during this time and we want you to know you are not alone. If we can assist you in anyway, please contact us at [email protected].
