COVID-19 Update

Active Orthodontics

Dr Cook and the team at Active Orthodontics consider the health and well being of our patients, family and friends of the utmost importance. The federal government guidelines to limit the spread of the COVID-19 infection through the community are changing daily but we have introduced a management policy that includes:

  • Deferring appointments for patients who:
    • Report or present with current flu symptoms including a sore throat, temperatures, headache or body aches
    • Have returned from overseas in the past 14 days
    • Have been in contact with anybody who has returned from overseas in the past 14 days
    • Have been in contact with anybody who suspects they have the COVID-19 infection
    • Restricting only one person to accompany a patient into the surgery – all others will required to wait outside the reception area
    • Strongly discouraging an accompanying a person over the age of 60 years from attending the practice or waiting in the reception area
    • Policing of social distancing in reception area
