We hope that you are coping in the current situation, but we are aware that it is not necessarily easy for everybody.

Our psychologist, Dr Michelle Van Vuuren, thought that a short article (in PDF format) produced by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) would be useful in providing some coping strategies for those who may encounter some anxiety during this time.

Finally, please remember that we encourage you to avoid coming into the practice for any upcoming appointments if possible. In many cases we can organise a Telehealth (video) Appointment. Contact us to discuss if necessary.

Please read our article on attending clinic prior to attending.

This will make a real difference in helping prevent the spread of this virus.
