Mask resources
The declared public health emergency for COVID-19 for the State of Queensland expires as of midnight on 31 October 2022.
The Queensland Government notified us in writing today it’s transitioning away from treating COVID-19 as an emergency to managing it in the same way it manages other notifiable conditions.
When community transmission is low, the Queensland Government recommends people wear a mask if required by their healthcare provider.
As part of the Queensland GP Alliance, we have created a suite of resources for you to help educate and advise patients of mask-wearing requirements now that mask-wearing is no longer mandated.
These assets will support you in asking patients to wear a mask in your practice.
• POSTER advising patients of the need for flexibility and types of measures practices may employ.
• FLYER to advise of specific measures you are employing.
• DETAILED NOTICE for practices to post on reception or online, or to use as a basis for advice to patients. (You can insert your practice name at the top of this PDF.)
• STATIC - notice for practices to post on reception or online, or to use as a basis for advice to patients. (A copy of the above option that is not fillable).
