If you have an appointment booked with the team at MCS, but feel uncertain if you should attend due to illness, please contact the reception staff on 08 8725 5302 who can provide you with pre-appointment triaging. It is most likely that you are able to attend your appointments as normal.

If you would like to self-triage prior to your appointment, please follow the screening protocol as provided on this page.

When you attend MCS, you will notice some changes to our check in processes and the environment including triaging by staff at check in, utilising advised clinical questions. Also, you will note relatively sparse spaces with the absence of books, magazines and toys, and changes with seating arrangements that respect the principles of “social distancing”.

We anticipate that you will feel reassured that MCS is taking every precaution to minimise risks to our patients and staff.
