Massage Covid Updates
Frequently Asked Questions
The following answers are both our interpretation of the current restrictions regarding massage therapy, as well as the most recent advice from our governing industry bodies. If you are unsure of your current circumstance, we recommend calling your State Covid Hotline. (Queensland 13 42 68, NSW 137 788)
Do I have to check in and wear a mask?
Yes, QR codes and masks are mandatory for all indoor spaces, including remedial massage clinics in NSW.
Does it matter if I have been vaccinated or not?
Some people can report feeling generally unwell after getting their COVID-19 Vaccination, and if this is the case we do advise you reschedule your appointment to when you’re feeling better. Should you be feeling well, there is no reason why you can not receive treatment.
As GPT is classified under Allied Health Services, there is currently no mandate or Public Health Order that requires us to limit service to fully vaccinated clients only. However, our therapists do have the option to make decisions about treating unvaccinated clients, based on their own health needs. If you would like to discuss any potential limitations please call our friendly team on (02) 5613 6964.
Please speak to your GP if you have questions about your suitability for the COVID-19 Vaccination.
I only want to see a fully vaccinated therapist
The NSW Government mandated COVID 19 vaccines for all allied health and unregistered health professionals on the 23rd of December 2022. As such, all GPT staff (including admin) are up to date with their COVID vaccinations.
What makes your service different from other massage clinics?
We are a clinic dedicated to remedial massage as well as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. All of our therapists hold a minimum qualification of Diploma of Remedial Massage, with many having done additional courses to expand their specialist skill sets.
“Massage Parlours” and “Beauty Massage” are classified by the government website as non-essential, as there are no regulations or minimum qualification for who can provide these services. They are also not considered health services.
If you are seeking treatment at Global Performance Therapy in Kingscliff, it is because our qualified therapists can provide you with a calibre of specialist care that is hard to find elsewhere.
You can see our therapist’s qualifications here.
As always, we continue to uphold our standard clinic practices which include:
- Washing our hands and arms after every client
- Changing linens after every client
- Regular cleaning and sanitizing of frequently touched surfaces
- Purifas “Face Shield” covers, the only head rest covers proven to reduce bacterial transmission
- Contactless payment and digital receipts
