COVID Update - effective 23rd July 2021

In line with the latest LOCKDOWN announcement, Talking Matters has moved sessions over to Telehealth rather than providing face to face appointments. We can also use this time to catch up with phone reviews for the parents that would like this service, or if you are wanting some additional support during these trying times. We thank you for your understanding and patience while we work through the process of contacting everyone and confirming what your choice for services are over this coming period.

Please don't hestiate to contact our office or your clinician if you have any questions or concerns. Rest assured our office is still contactable via phone (08) 8255 7137 or via email on office@talkingmatters.com.au.

Our office will be closing early on Friday 30/7/21, from 5.30pm for a staff event.

Your clinicians will be pre-arranging alternative appointment options for the families that this will impact. Our staff will be back onboard Saturday 31/7/21 as per our normal hours.

COVID Update - effective 7th July 2021

In line with the latest announcement, restrictions have eased and the wearing of masks is no longer mandatory in our service. We are still maintaining the one way traffic flow for all people entering and exiting our Elizabeth Downs Clinic.

Please continue to QR code checkin and "show us your tick" as you arrive at reception.

*****

COVID Update - effective 30th June 2021

In line with reverting back to stricter COVID measures as announced by the State Government 30/6/21, masks are now required to be worn while attending all Talking Matters sites. QR code checkins and "show us your tick" will continue to be routine, and we also continue to have Telepractice options available if this is suitable for your circumstances.

We have also instituted one way traffic flows throughout the practice as much as possible, so when you attend the Elizabeth Downs office, you will now be entering through the door to the right hand side (under the verandah) and exiting through the main front door.

Please minimise bringing additional people to the office where possible, one adult per client is ideal. We will also be initiating a "call from the carpark" for our school holiday services to advise you are in attendance, our office number is 08 8255 7137.

Please keep safe everyone and keep up to date with the changing requirements. Talking Matters will be posting updates on our website, Facebook and Instagram to help get the information out to all our families.
