And now a word from our sponsors….

Pointons Lawyers incorporating The Conveyance Shop and GL Prior and Associates would like to advise our clients and friends that we continue to trade as per normal, in line with any recommendations made by the relevant authorities in federally and in Queensland.


Our focus is to provide our clients with any essential advice that we are able to provide over  this time.


We have already taken a range of precautionary measures in our office to ensure the health and safety of our clients and staff, including:

  • Increasing the frequency of cleaning in-store and the availability of hygiene products;
  • Asking any staff displaying cold and flu-like symptoms to stay home and self-isolate;
  • Not allowing entry to our office for anyone that has been overseas in the last fourteen (14) days or who may be displaying cold and flu-like symptoms;
  • Anyone who is feeling unwell is being sent home immediately; and
  • To avoid congregation in our reception area, we are requesting that clients call to make appointments to limit the amount of people in our reception as part of the social distancing protocols.

 

For those that require assistance but are unable to attend our office, we are happy to assist by phone or email.


We want to assure all our valued clients and friends that we are doing all we can to ensure a safe environment.
