Coronavirus Statement

With the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide, therapists may become concerned with how the virus could affect their clinic and the best way to protect their own health. Massage & Myotherapy Australia recommends therapists ensure they are familiar with best practice standards around infection control and monitor recommendations from the Australian Government Department of Health updates.

It is important to ensure full clinical record keeping is maintained, including Informed Consent and Contraindications. While therapists have the right of refusal for any clients who may be suffering an illness, keep in mind Australia’s anti-discrimination laws.

For further information, review the Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice chapter Hygiene and Infection Control.
