Bellbird Sports & Spinal is a health service provider and in accordance with Government instructions are continuing to provide services to the public. Some of our systems have changed since the arrival of the coronavirus in Australia. We have introduced new services in order to continue meeting the changing needs of our community. Please read the following points before attending Bellbird Sports & Spinal. These points will change in accordance with best practice and changes in government directives. We will highlight these changes.

As a healthcare facility we continue to be open but we need your assistance to protect the community.

• If you should be in isolation according to Department of Health guidelines you should not attend this facility. We have video conferencing options that can be very effective (Telehealth).

If your hands are visibly clean (No dirt or otherwise soiled) then use hand sanitiser provided at the cleaning station as you enter the building. If your hands are visibly soiled you will need to wash them with soap and water at a sink to the left of reception.

If there is a special need to wear gloves please contact reception before attending the clinic. Otherwise we ask that you do not wear gloves while at this facility.
