COVID-19 NSW Update
We are writing to confirm the commencement of the new COVID roadmap rules in NSW on Monday 18 October 2021.

Monday 18 October 2021 is confirmed as the date that the NSW 80% roadmap applies.

Attached is the current NSW advice that provides a full overview of the roadmap rules that apply in NSW in 2 parts: first is the 80% roadmap (now confirmed as Monday 18 October 2021) and second is the final roadmap stage from 1 December 2021.

Link here:https://www.atms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/COVID-19-NSW-80-Percent-Roadmap.pdf

Further details can also be found on the NSW government website here:
https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/easing-covid-19-restrictions

The following advice is confirmed to ATMS members in NSW.

Natural medicine as essential health services, no change in the NSW roadmap

As previously advised, all natural medicine services that were open before the 70% roadmap (Monday 11 October 2021) remain essential health services.

There is no change to this position in the 80% roadmap (Monday 18 October 2021).

As an essential heath service there is no mandate or rule that compels vaccination of practitioner or client.

All infection control and pre-screening COVID safe protocols should remain in place for all treatments.

Also as previously advised, individual practices may make decisions on 2 issues for each clinic:
A clinic may choose to seek information from a client as to vaccination as a pre-screening COVID safety protocol
A clinic may decide a policy of the clinic regarding vaccination status of practitioners
For natural medicine services re-opening in accordance with the roadmap

For ATMS members that have been closed you are bound by the road map rules to re-open under the 70% roadmap (as from Monday 11 October 2021) and/or the 80% roadmap (as from Monday 18 October 2021).

These rules mean all services that are re-opening are only available to those who have proof that they have received 2 doses of a vaccine.

This means that the practitioner will be required to be vaccinated.

This means that the client will be required to be vaccinated.

These rules will apply to these main clinic circumstances:
Home clinics that were closed due to COVID – to reopen under the roadmap both practitioner and client must be vaccinated
Mobile and in-home services that were closed due to COVID – to reopen under the roadmap both practitioner and client must be vaccinates
Clinics within gyms, day spas and other restricted business premises that were closed due to COVID - to reopen under the roadmap both practitioner and client must be vaccinated
“massage parlours” as defined under various public health orders - to reopen under the roadmap both practitioner and client must be vaccinated
Final stage – 1 December 2021

On 1 December, new settings will apply to all, regardless of their vaccination status.

Full details of the 1 December roadmap are in the attached current NSW advice

COVID-19 NSW Update
The NSW Government has issued new restrictions for Newcastle and the Hunter, including the Newcastle, Cessnock, Dungog, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Muswellbrook, Port Stephens or Singleton local government areas.

From 5pm Thursday 5 August 2021 until 12.01am Friday 13 August 2021 stay at home rules apply.

If you live in, usually work in, or usually attend a university or other tertiary education facility in Newcastle and the Hunter, including the Newcastle, Cessnock, Dungog, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Muswellbrook, Port Stephens or Singleton local government areas, stay at home rules apply.

Stay at home rules apply if you were in the local government areas of Newcastle, Cessnock, Dungog, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Muswellbrook, Port Stephens or Singleton on or after Saturday 31 July 2021. If you have left the area, you must follow the stay at home rules until 11:59 pm on Thursday 12 August 2021.

The new order for these Newcastle and Hunter local government areas state:

“You must stay home. Only leave your home if you have a reasonable excuse.

If you must leave home, stay within your local area. Do not travel outside your local area if you can avoid it.

Limit your physical contact with people you do not live with. See the restrictions for visitors to a residence.

You must carry a face mask with you at all times when you leave your home in Newcastle and the Hunter.”

Full details of the restrictions are available here: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/rules/affected-regions

Leaving home for healthcare services is a reasonable excuse.

As per our COVID Update on Thursday 15 July 2021, natural medicine services, including remedial massage therapies, are viewed as healthcare services when provided in dedicated clinic settings. The NSW Government continues to urge all citizens to leave home only for essential care reasons.

Our best advice to members is that where care cannot be delayed then it may proceed. Where care can be delayed or be delivered via telehealth this should occur. Circumstances of where care should not be delayed is where it would result in the deterioration of the person’s health.

All members in Newcastle and the Hunter, including the Newcastle, Cessnock, Dungog, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Muswellbrook, Port Stephens or Singleton local government areas should review all aspects of practice and ensure an individual risk assessment is done for your practice and your location and for each client. This risk assessment should include the decision to practice or not and what telehealth alternatives are available for your practice.

If practice is safe to continue after a thorough risk assessment, your risk management and infection control protocols must include consideration of the full range of COVID safe procedures: pre-screening before entry to premises, temperature checks, hand sanitisation, masks, full infection control and full record keeping, including QR Codes.
