Our COVID-19 Safety Measures

At Own Body Mobile Health Services we are socially and ethically committed to preventing the transmission of COVID-19, and to protect our clients and team members to ensure uninterrupted services.

We have a current COVID safe policy in place that is regularly reviewed and updated as required based on state government requirements.

As a part of our obligations and ongoing commitment to the implementation of safety measures in keeping our clients and team safe, we are undertaking the following steps:

Strong infection control processes to minimise any risk. These policies include:

Heightened hand hygiene routines and sanitisation.
Sanitising of equipment between clients when non disposable equipment is needed.
Mandatory reporting of flu-like symptoms accompanied by RAT testing (for them or anyone in their home) and abstinence from OB work duties until medically cleared.
Compliance to PPE state requirements.
Pre-visit COVID-19 screening of all clients.
Compliance with state government quarantine and testing requirements.

Contacting all current clients to inform them of these precautions AND:

Encourage cancellations if they, or anyone in their home are experiencing flu-like symptoms.
Ask if they or anyone else in their home is suffering from flu/cold like symptoms, have tested positive to COVID-19 and currently quarantining or awaiting COVID-19 test results.
Offer Telehealth services where applicable.

All team members have agreed to each of the above measures through a mandatory questionnaire and undertaken the COVID-19 Infection Control training course as per the Department of Health.

"Helping people become independent and able to remain living well in their own homes for longer makes what I do the best job in the world. There is no greater satisfaction than knowing you’ve played a part in helping our clients reach their goals."
