RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING REQUIREMENTS
Patients will no longer be required to have a RAT before a procedure unless they are symptomatic.
CYCLE CANCELLATION
If you commence a treatment cycle and it is cancelled because you test positive for COVID, cancellation fees will apply. If you are concerned about your cycle being cancelled due to COVID, please discuss this with your treating specialist prior to commencing treatment who can assess your individual situation.
COUNSELLING
To continue to support patients, the clinic is offering a complimentary counselling session to assist with decision making and associated implications to your treatment. Please contact a nurse to arrange for a referral.
We will continue to review available information and monitor the developments of COVID 19. Please contact the clinic if you have any concerns or questions.
