Coronavirus (Covid-19)

The Reflexology Association of Australia Limited Board of Directors are monitoring the rapidly changing situation in relation to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the Government restrictions being implemented to help protect us all and reduce the spread of the virus.

If you are deliverying Reflexology for health related reasons, you are permitted to practice until otherwise directed. Presently, it is at the discretion of each practitioner to decide whether they wish to practice at this time or refrain due to their own social-distancing requirements.

Victorian practitioners and members of the public - Currently stage 3 restrictions have been implemented in regional Victoria. At this stage, Reflexology for health benefits are permitted to continue. Inner Melbourne are under stage 4 restrictions meaning Reflexology is not allowed to continue except for patients where Reflexology forms part of their healthcare plan either by referral from a GP/Specialist or their treatments are funded as part of their healcare plan through NDIS or similar.  We recommend you keep abreast of changes via the Vic Department of Health website at https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/victorias-restriction-levels-covid-19 and contact the Department whenever clarification is required for your particular situation.
