An important Covid-19 update

Here at Macquarie Physiotherapy and Exercise Centre the health and wellbeing of our clients and staff has always been our priority. As a result, we would like to reassure you we are continually monitoring and gaining updates from multiple professional sources.

Belmont has temporarily closed:

Due to the unprecedented circumstances presented by the COVID-19 crisis, we have taken the difficult decision to temporarily close the doors of our Belmont practice.

As of Monday April 6, our regular Belmont physios will be working from our Gateshead practice.

All those who would normally attend our Belmont rooms are very welcome at Gateshead and will receive the same excellent level of service that you have always received.

If travelling to Gateshead presents a problem, please get in touch with us and we will endeavour to help via telehealth or a telephone conference.

As the longest-running physiotherapy practice in Belmont, we will be reopening our rooms as soon as we can.

Check our website or facebook page for future announcements. If you have any questions, please call us on 4942 1322.

• Our staff are maintaining the high hygiene standards such as regular hand sanitizing and disinfection of hard surfaces as outlined by NSW Health
• Our reception staff are screening people for high risk factors, so please do not be offended by extra questions you may be asked when booking appointments.  We do ask that if you have any flu like symptoms or feel unwell that you cancel your appointment (no cancellation fees will apply).
• If you have close contact with anyone returning from overseas, we ask that you please contact us via phone to discuss if alternative treatment options such as video or telephone consults are required.
• Our staff have been asked not to come in if they feel unwell, particularly with flu like symptoms.

We are committed to supporting public health authorities with any identified cases or concerns of potential transmission in the community and believe that transparency is key to everyone’s safety so rest assured that if we have confirmed cases in our premises we will be alerting public health authorities and taking responsible steps for the good of the wider community.

At this stage though we are still open and look forward to continuing our excellent services with you and our community.

For everybody, staying fit and healthy will be one of the best defences against this virus so apart from letting us continue to help you – eat well, rest well and get some regular exercise.

Kind Regards
The team at Macquarie Physiotherapy and Exercise Centre
