UPDATED COVID-19 RESPONSE - APRIL 2020
Dear Patients and Medico-legal clients,
In response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus I have implemented the following measures for my practice, taking into account the Australian and Victorian Governments' advice.
I am continuing to see patients and conduct medico-legal assessments however, I am working exclusively via videolink/telehealth.
For current clinical patients I am consulting using telehealth Medicare item numbers by appointment. This means
I am continuing to accept new medico-legal assessments for the Family Court and Federal Circuit Court as well as civil assessments of children and young people following motor vehicle accidents or under the Wrongs Act, subject to the following conditions:
See 'Contact Us' page for ways of making contact. Please do not phone or send correspondence to the Millswyn Clinic as it is unattended.
I understand that these are difficult times but hope that everyone will understand that I have introduced these measures for everyone's benefit. Thank you for your consideration of these issues.
Dr Robert Adler
