COVID-19 & Phone Consultations
Sydney Doctors would like to update you on the changes that we have made to help keep you safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our clinic is still fully functional and happy see patients in person. However, to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we are recommending phone consultations for the following groups:
- If you have a fever, respiratory symptoms or might have been exposed to COVID-19
- If you have returned from overseas in the past 14 days
- If you have a medical condition that may make you more vulnerable to COVID-19
We understand that these are uncertain times and many of our patients will be facing financial hardship
Please come in to the practice this week if you have not been in 12 months.
Medicare criteria:
Must have attended the practice for a face-to-face consultation in
the past 12 months, AND:
(a) is a person that has been diagnosed with COVID-19 but who is
not a patient of a hospital; or
(b) is a person that has been required to isolate themselves in
quarantine in accordance with home isolation guidance issued by Australian
Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC); or
(c) is a person considered more susceptible to the COVID-19
virus being a person who is:
(i) at least 70 years old; or

Islander descent; or
