Melbourne Health Screen Services Continue

    0

    New industry player, EQ Pathology, has confirmed it will continue to offer advisers its medical health screen services within the Melbourne area as the city’s Stage 4 Covid-19 lockdown restrictions continue.

    With Victoria’s ‘State of Emergency’ status applying until at least 13th September, EQ Pathology CEO, Stephen Clarkson, told Riskinfo he has received advice confirming that his firm is able to continue providing medical screening for life insurance applicants, on the assumption its nursing and all other client contact team members observe strict Covid-19 safety protocols.

    This confirmation comes as Riskinfo understands some other mobile health screen firms offering services in the Melbourne metropolitan area have been postponed, pending an easing of the Stage 4 lockdown requirements.

    …the Victorian Government’s guidelines …may lack clarity

    It appears the Victorian Government’s guidelines that determine the ability for providers to perform client-facing health screen services during Stage 4 lockdown may lack clarity, which has led to the situation in which EQ Pathology continues to maintain these services, while some other providers have determined they’re unable to do so.
