The Queensland State Government has announced that the lockdown in South-East Queensland has been extended and will remain in place until at least 4pm on Sunday 8 August. For more information click here.

The Association has confirmed that clients can travel further than 10kms for essential treatment. Please note that while 'providing massage therapy for the management or prevention of disease, injury or condition by a registered health practitioner or qualified massage therapist' is permitted in the affected areas, all non-essential treatments should be postponed for the duration of the lockdown.

• If you are an individual worker who lives or works in the affected areas and your working hours have been affected by the lockdown, the Association advises bookmarking the COVID-19 Disaster Payment support package webpage and checking back regularly to apply when it opens for South-Ease Queensland workers.
• If you are a business owner affected by the lockdown and are looking for financial relief, Business Queensland has set up the Coronavirus (COVID-19) business assistance finder.

Massage & Myotherapy Australia will continue to monitor the situation and notify members of any changes to directions.
