Covid 19 Safety – It is important that business owners operate with correct and accurate preventative procedures for the health, safety and well-being of their clients, but also understand how to address a potential infection incident in a calm, caring and professional manner.
Our establishment complies with strict infection prevention guidelines as set out by the Australian Government Health Department as well as APAN Best Practice Protocols for the prevention & transmission of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Our clinic and equipment, including all touch surfaces, are cleaned and sanitized utilising Viraclean Hospital Grade Disinfectant between each client. We only use disposable single-use items for your treatments. Single-use equipment is wrapped and safely disposed of between client appointments and our staff adhere to best hygiene practices for hand washing and sanitization before each client.
On your next attendance, you will notice that Covid 19 Safety Sanitising Stations have been installed, we will be recording your name and contact number on attendance at an appointment by use of the Services NSW COVVID Check-In App. Our staff will be gowned, gloved and masked (all disposable after each client).

- If you are wearing a single-use mask, position the coloured side of the mask outward.
- If the mask has:
- Ear loops: Hold the mask by both ear loops and place one loop over each ear.

- Dispose of single-use masks responsibly in the general rubbish bin. For safety, where possible, put it into a sealed bag before putting it in the bin to ensure others won’t touch it.
- Don’t put disposable masks in the recycling. Most single-use masks contain soft plastics and cannot be recycled. They can also get caught in recycling equipment and be a hazard to waste management workers.
- There’s been an unwelcome rise in disposable masks littering our streets and waterways. Don’t be a tosser. Always dispose of single-use masks responsibly.
- Wash and dry reusable cloth masks after each use.
- Store in a plastic or zip-lock bag until you have an opportunity to wash them.

The public health order includes a number of exemptions.
- Children aged 12 or under.
- People who have a physical or mental health illness or condition, or disability, that makes wearing a mask unsuitable including, for example, a skin condition, an intellectual disability, autism or trauma.
A person may remove their mask if they are:
- eating or drinking,
- communicating with another person who is deaf or hard of hearing
- at work and the nature of the work makes the wearing of fitted face covering a risk to the person’s, or another persons’ health and safety,
- or means clear enunciation or visibility of your mouth is essential, or
- you are asked to remove your mask for identity purposes.
NOTE: For the purpose of receiving a skin treatment to your face area, you will be allowed to remove your mask immediately before receiving such treatment, but will be required to re-apply your face mask immediately the treatment has been completed. (Public Health (COVID-19 Mandatory Face Coverings) Order 2021 [NSW] – Part 2 – (7)(f)
If the treatment you are receiving is not for the facial area, example leg waxing or SHR IPL Laser treatment to the body, you will be required to wear your face mask throughout the entire treatment.
