Conditions of Entry

The following conditions of entry will apply for patients and visitors to the Launceston Health Hub.

  • As the risk level of COVID-19 is classified as ‘low’ in Tasmania, masks are optional for patients and visitors of the Health Hub building.
    With consideration of their individual risk, some of our GP’s will ask their patients to wear a mask. Our reception staff will let you know if this is the case for your appointment.
  • Any person experiencing cough, cold and/or flu-like symptoms will not be permitted to enter the Health Hub building.
    Patients with these symptoms can book into the Launceston Respiratory Clinic for a face-to-face consultation.
  • COVID positive patients can book a F2F appointment at the Launceston Respiratory Clinic if a physical examination is needed.
  • Alternatively, a telehealth appointment can be made at the Launceston Medical Centre for patients who are COVID positive. Standard fees apply.
  • Close contacts may enter the building as long as a negative RAT has been performed on that day. Strictly, the person must not have any cough, cold or flu like symptoms.
  • Masks are no longer mandatory for entering the premises, however some of our clinicians will require you to wear a mask during your consultation.
  • A maximum of one support person is permitted per appointment (excluding young children)
  • Patients may be asked to wait in their car if there is an unexpected delay to the appointment time.
  • Our practice has a Zero Tolerance policy towards abuse of any kind. We ask for kindness and understanding as we endeavour to keep our practice safe for our staff, visitors and patients.

To keep our staff and patients well Launceston Medical Centre is currently not seeing patients with cold and flu symptoms (including runny nose, sore throat, cough or fever).  Patients who have attended the practice previously have the option of booking a telehealth appointment with their regular GP.

Alternatively, any patient experiencing these symptoms can book in for a consultation at the Launceston Respiratory Clinic which is located right next door to us.  In addition to COVID testing, prescriptions, general advice and medical certificates can be provided.
