Special Interests

INFLUENZA AND COVID VACCINES

Flu clinics are now available and can be booked online.

Our flu clinics remain bulk-billed services with no out of pocket costs for patients eligible for a government funded vaccine. Private flu vaccines are also in steady supply.

Where stock allows we are happy to provide Covid booster immunisations at the same time for eligible patients who choose to do so.

SHINGRIX: GOVERNMENT FUNDED PROGRAM

The popularity of the uptake of the shingles vaccination program has led to a shortage in supply nationally. 

Contact us regarding your eligibility and to be placed on a waiting list. One of our Nurses will contact you with an appointment as stock becomes available; we appreciate your patience.

 

6 WEEK BABY CHECK

If you are booking a 6 week baby check and/or a 6 week postpartum review you will need to book with reception on 5250 1208. 

This is so we can ensure the appointments are paired together, enough time is allocated with the doctor and the immunisations are booked with the nurses.
