The CAPS Clinic have lifted many of their most restrictive COVID safety guidelines, including visitor restrictions and mandatory surgical masks. However, as we are a Health facility, various guidelines are still in place.
ACT Health have lifted restrictions related to mask-wearing indoors, and as a result surgical masks are no longer required in most areas of The CAPS Clinic.
However, mask-wearing is still encouraged to keep you and our team safe.
Be aware that in the 360UV Skin Cancer Clinic, masks are mandatory and must be worn by ALL patients.
All clients and visitors are encouraged to complete a check in using the Check In CBR app as a safety measure for health facilities in the ACT and for ACT Health Department records. The Check In CBR app is free to download on the App Store and Google Play. On arrival for your appointment, please open the app and scan the ‘Check In CBR’ QR code.Â
As of the 15th October 2021, restrictions surrounding non-medical business have been lifted.
You can call (02) 6282 1155 to find out more information or for any queries you may have.
