Covid Update Virginia Hill Speech Pathology

Sunday November 22

In line with the recent changes to restrictions in South Australia our offices will be closed for in person sessions as a pre-cautionary measure until at least the 27th of November.

We will be moving all clients to Zoom appointments only for at least Nov 19th – Nov 27th.

We hope to catch up missed appointments with clients unable to zoom in the month of December provided South Australia is tracking well with infection rates at that time.

We thank you for your patience in keeping all safe in this vulnerable time.
