Safety measures
The safety and well-being of our patients and staff continues to be our main priority and we have taken appropriate measures to further address this. City Fertility’s protocols in place to mitigate unnecessary risk include (but are not limited to):
- Ensuring staff maintain high-infection control protocols including the thorough daily cleaning of all high-touch areas with high-grade disinfectant, including reception surfaces, door handles, and treatment areas;
- All staff, patients and visitors to the clinics are required to use hand sanitiser on entering the clinic, before and after contact with patients;
- All visitors and staff are screened and have temperature monitoring prior to entering clinics;
- The implementation of social distancing measures wherever possible, except when carrying out essential medical procedures.
Keeping us informed
City Fertility respectfully requests any patient who is feeling unwell to refrain from visiting our clinics until seeking medical advice. We kindly request you delay any face-to-face fertility appointments and/or treatment should any of the following apply:
- You have active flu-like symptoms (fever, sore throat, cough and/or shortness of breath), please seek advice from your local GP;
- You have had direct contact with a person diagnosed with Coronavirus (COVID-19) within the past 14 days;
- You are self-isolating or being tested for Coronavirus (COVID-19);
- You have returned from any overseas travel since 15 March and are required to self-isolate for 14 days.
If you fall into any of the above-mentioned categories, please contact your treating specialist to discuss alternative appointment options (including video or phone) available to you during this time.
City Fertility will continue to monitor the Department of Health alerts and provide any important updates to patients and employees as soon as they are available. For additional information please visit; https://www.health.gov.au/
