Covid-Surge-.png
15/Jan/2025

As COVID-19, influenza, and RSV cases rise across the Northern Beaches and Australia, it’s time to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your loved ones. The highly transmissible JN.1 subvariant is driving this surge, and vaccination rates for booster doses remain low.

At South Steyne Medical Centre Manly, our focus is on helping our community stay healthy during these challenging times. Here’s what you need to know to stay safe.

 


📊 COVID-19 and Respiratory Illnesses on the Northern Beaches

The Northern Beaches community is seeing an increase in respiratory infections, including COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. The JN.1 subvariant spreads faster than earlier variants, putting vulnerable groups at risk.

Who Is Most at Risk?

Residents across Manly and the Northern Beaches who face the highest risks include:

  • Seniors aged 65 and over
  • Residents in aged care facilities
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
  • Individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds

These groups are more likely to experience severe symptoms or complications from infections.

 


🛡️ How to Protect Yourself

 

1. Get Vaccinated at South Steyne Medical Centre Manly

Vaccination is your best defense against COVID-19 and influenza. Protect yourself with the latest booster shots and flu vaccines available at our medical centre in Manly.

💡 Tip: Stay up to date with both COVID-19 and flu vaccinations to minimize your risk.

 


2. Wear a Mask in Crowded Spaces

Whether you’re commuting on public transport or shopping in busy Northern Beaches centers, wearing a mask can help prevent the spread of viruses.

💡 Tip: Use a high-quality mask, such as an N95, for the best protection.

 


3. Practice Hand Hygiene

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use an alcohol-based sanitizer, especially after touching public surfaces in Manly and other Northern Beaches areas.

💡 Tip: Carry hand sanitizer with you for convenience.

 


4. Test Promptly if You Feel Unwell

If you feel unwell, test immediately for COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses. Early detection helps protect those around you and ensures you receive timely medical care.

💡 Tip: Rapid antigen test kits are readily available—keep a few at home for emergencies.

15/Jan/2025

At South Steyne Medical Centre, located in the heart of Manly and proudly serving the Northern Beaches, we are always striving to improve your experience. To make our telehealth services more efficient and stress-free, we’re excited to introduce Pre-Authorised Credit Card Payments for all telehealth consultations.

Why Are We Introducing Pre-Authorised Payments?

Our commitment to delivering quality care extends to every aspect of your journey, including payments. Did you know that 20% of patients forget to finalize payment after a telehealth appointment? This creates delays and extra administrative work.

By adopting pre-authorised payments, we’re making it easier for you and our team to focus on what matters most: your health and well-being.

What Are Pre-Authorised Payments?

Pre-authorised payments are a secure, convenient way to handle telehealth billing. Here’s how it works:

  1. When You Book Your Telehealth Appointment:
    • A pre-authorised hold of $90 will be placed on your credit card.
  2. After Your Telehealth Consultation:
    • Bulk-billed appointments: The $90 hold will be released back to your card, and no charges will be made.
    • Appointments costing $90 or less: The final amount will be processed automatically.
    • Appointments costing more than $90: We’ll process the $90, and our team will contact you for the balance.

Benefits for Our Patients in Manly, the Northern Beaches, and Beyond

This change is designed to benefit our local community in Manly and the Northern Beaches, as well as patients seeking telehealth services in Sydney.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Faster Payments: No more follow-up calls or emails about unpaid balances.
  • Seamless Service: Our team can focus entirely on providing high-quality care.
  • Hassle-Free Experience: Payment is handled securely and automatically.

Supporting Telehealth Services in Sydney

As one of the leading medical centres in Manly offering telehealth services in Sydney, South Steyne Medical Centre is dedicated to making healthcare accessible and convenient for all our patients. Whether you live locally on the Northern Beaches or elsewhere in Sydney, our new payment system ensures your experience is stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will my card be charged when I book?
No, the $90 is only a pre-authorised hold. Actual charges will depend on your consultation type.

2. What happens if my consultation is bulk-billed?
The $90 hold will be released without any charges to your card.

3. What if the final charge exceeds $90?
We will process the $90 and follow up with you to settle the remaining balance.

4. Are my card details secure?
Yes, we use industry-standard encryption to ensure your details are safe.
