Client obligations

Version 1.4

Health

  • DO NOT come to the studio if you display the COVID-19 symptoms.

Self-isolate immediately, seek medical advice from your doctor and get tested. Symptoms may include;

  • fever

  • chills or sweats

  • cough

  • sore throat

  • shortness of breath

  • runny nose

  • loss of sense of smell

In certain circumstances headache, muscle soreness, stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea may also be considered.

  • DO NOT return to the studio if you have had any of the above symptoms until you have been cleared by a doctor. A health certificate will be required to verify your recovery prior to returning to the studio.

In regards to face masks we must all comply by the regulations set by the Victorian State Government at the time.

  • You must wear a fitted face mask that covers the nose and mouth. This means that face shields, bandanas or scarves or loose snoods, or loose neck gaiters on their own will no longer be considered a sufficient face covering.

  • There are a number of lawful excuses for not wearing a face mask.

  • A face mask with three layers is the option recommended by the Chief Health Officer, as it provides the best protection for you and others.
