INFORMATION ABOUT COVID-19.
Active Health Portland would like all of our patients and team members to stay safe during this pandemic.
With that in mind, when you need to speak with your GP or allied health provider there are some important changes to way we are currently working.
While we are doing mostly face to face appointments at the current time this can change depending on restrictions. If you aren’t sure if your appointment is face to face or over the phone please call reception.
We are still screening all patients upon entry so if you have any cold or flu like symptoms (cough, fever, sore throat, runny nose etc.) or have had a COVID test and are awaiting your result please call reception for instructions regarding your appointment.
For information on the conditions that allow GPs to test patients for Covid-19 and what types of certificates may or may not be issued please see the following link:
