“Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures” and we are certainly living through one of these times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our mental health is affected by changes in our social environment ,and no event in recent history has wrought havoc with our daily lives quite like COVID-19. Isolation and other restrictions may increase anxiety and stress as may worries about finances, employment and family. You can maintain your mental health with various online supports.

Please consult one of our doctors at GIMG if you need further mental health advice.

We would like to thank all our patients during the time of the Covid-19 pandemic for responding to the many changes to ensure staff and patient safety are being met at the highest level.

From all at Glen Iris Medical Group we are wishing that you and your family are all safe and well. 2020 has so far been a difficult year for everyone.

The bushfires brought the new year in, followed by hail storms, dust storms and now COVID-19. Our lives have changed and phrases such as social distancing and lockdown, are part of our vocabulary. Schools are now on-line, many now work from home and the roads are quiet.
