At Entelechy Therapy during the COVID-19 restrictions, where possible we are continuing to offer face-to-face consultations in our clinic. We are also now providing new Telehealth Services via video conferencing or telephone. We will keep you updated regarding any changes to our service provision. Where appropriate, families will have the option for either face to face consultations or telehealth. If you or immediate family member is unwell, travelled overseas in the past 14 days, or have had contact with a person that has tested positive to COVID-19, then we ask that you contact our clinic to arrange for a Telehealth consultation. If your preference is for a face-to-face consultation then we will reschedule your appointment as soon as possible after the 14-day exclusion period has been observed, or if you have experienced COVID-19 symptoms, once your treating doctor allows you out of isolation. Please contact us on 9481 1944 for more information regarding referrals, NDIS, Medicare rebates or any other enquires.
