Orange's IVF clinic, Genea, started its operations again on Monday, days after Prime Minister Scott Morrison made the announcement to lift restrictions on some non-essential surgeries.

Since the start of the month, patients who had started a cycle could continue, but those who had not were delayed unless they were having eggs frozen prior to cancer treatment.

The restrictions were initially introduced to free up beds amid fears coronavirus could overwhelm the health system.

Genea medical director Associate Professor Mark Bowman said he was thrilled patients could once again access fertility services, including stimulated IVF cycles, frozen embryo transfer cycles and egg and sperm freezing.

"It's been a devastating few weeks for those who wanted to commence treatment but as always, Genea adheres and respects the advice and requirements of the government," he said.

"It is wonderful news we can open our doors again and support those longing for a family, many of our patients don't have time to waste."

Dr Bowman said Genea was reviewing individual clinic operations.

Genea clinics returning to operation will continue to require strict social distancing measures to reduce the risk of infection amongst patients and staff.

Fertility specialists and nurses will consult via video and all necessary clinic and day surgery visits will be timed to reduce the number of visitors at any point in time.

Dr Bowman said the safety of patients and staff was paramount.

"Over the past month our counsellors, doctors, nurses and scientists have all worked hard to support patients unable to access services, we will continue to do all we can to ensure patients feel safe and supported in our environment," he said.

Joint replacements, cataract surgeries, breast reconstructions, dental treatments, colonoscopies, endoscopies, and post-cancer treatments were among the other procedures to have restrictions relaxed during Mr Morrison's announcement.

The restart will be subject to capacity.

Those procedures will be reviewed again next month, along with others under consideration for addition to the list.

Orange Health Service's emergency department remains split although on a smaller scale, with separate streams.

A hot zone remains in place for coronavirus and respiratory cases, while non-respiratory emergency cases are being dealt with in a cold zone.

Earlier this month, the cold zone was in a separate location, but the two streams are now both located within the ED
