Keeping Whitehouse Covid-Safe

• Stringent hygiene practices are adhered to daily, including cleaning all testing equipment after each client and high touchpoint areas throughout the practices.
• All frames touched by a client are set aside and sanitised before replacement on the shelves.

The Whitehouse Team

• All staff are fully vaccinated
• NSW Health has determined that all health workers in NSW, including Optometrists, dispensing and administrative staff are required to wear a surgical mask if they are within 1.5m of a patient.
• Staff have completed the Department of Health Infection Control for COVID-19 training, including safe handwashing procedures.
• Staff have been instructed not to come to work if they are unwell.

If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, have been to any “hot spots” or have been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 kindly postpone your appointment. We will continue to monitor information provided by the Australian Department of Health and Optometry Australia.
