Have you tested positive for COVID? Use this adult self-assessment tool to assess your risk of severe COVID-19 illness
If you have tested positive for COVID-19, and are one of the patients of our surgery.
Please book a Telehealth appointment in order for us to asses the severity of your illness, and give you information regarding how to monitor for any deterioration.
The public health unit will only be contacting those it deems to be high risk, so if you need advise, please book a Telehealth appointment with ourselves.

COVID-19 vaccines will be available for children ages 5 years to 11 years starting in January. We are excited to offer vaccines at our practice to help protect your child from COVID-19.
If you would like to book your child in you can now reserve a dose on our website or our mobile app called AMS Connect by selecting the COVID Vaccine service and then the appropriate appointment type.
If your child is a new patient to the practice, please email Dr Wendy Bridges at wendyb@blackbuttdoctors.com.au who will advise you further.
Once stock arrives you will receive an SMS invitation to book your appointment. Your dose 2 will be automatically reserved and you will receive another SMS message once you are due.
Please do not call us to book as reception will not be able to do this.
IMPORTANT POLICY ON MASKS:
It is the policy of this practice that everybody wears a mask while on the premises. This helps us to comply with strict workplace health and safety obligations and also helps us to provide safe care to all.
If you are unable or unwilling to wear a mask, please advise us before you come to the practice. This will enable us to plan your care in the way that is safest for all.
This means we may offer you:
- Telehealth appointment;
OR
- An appointment at a time and place that minimises contact with others (for example, we may ask you to wait in your car without waiting in waiting room; or we may see you in a room in the pharmacy).
Wearing masks help decrease the spread of infectious diseases, like COVID-19.
There are very limited circumstances where an exemption is appropriate and rarely will our doctors be able to provide you with one.
If you require evidence that you have a condition that makes wearing a mask unsuitable, you can also seek assistance from a registered NDIS provider or sign a statutory declaration, which does not require input from a doctor.
We are happy to provide a copy of your health summary if you need to verify your health conditions.
IMPORTANT ASTRA ZENECA VACCINE UPDATE:
We are bringing the due date for dose 2 of the Astra Zeneca vaccine forward to be 6 weeks from when dose 1 was given, due to the current COVID climate and our lock down.
Patients who have a reserved dose should receive a sms text in the next few days inviting them to book an appointment.
