BOOK YOUR FLU SHOT

Our stock of 2020 government flu immunisations is intermittent. Please call us to check on availability and book an appointment. There are two separate stocks:

1. People over 65 years

2. Eligible people under 65 years (asthma, diabetes, heart conditions,etc.).

For our regular patients who don't fall within these two groups, we are happy to provide prescriptions for private flu immunisations to be given at the clinic. Just call us to request.

For anyone requiring a flu shot who is not a regular patient, please attend your regular GP clinic or pharmacy.

Our flu clinic is a very quick appointment and is only for the flu immunisation. If you have additional reasons to see us, please book a regular appointment.

ALL APPOINTMENTS NEED TO BE BOOKED- TEL 5983 1355.

To lower risk during the COVID-19 pandemic

If you think you have COVID-19

Call the National Coronavirus Health Information Line on 1800 675 398 for instructions

(only ring our clinic if advised to).

To reduce the risk for our patients, we are both minimising the number of people visiting our clinic, as well as the number attending the clinic at any one time. This requires a clear protocol:

1. Initial appointment

Firstly, ring the clinic for an appointment. All initial appointments will be Telehealth (via the telephone). Our doctors will then organise with you the the most appropriate care.

2. If your GP then wants you to visit our clinic

All patients arriving at the clinic now need to please stay outside - preferably in your vehicle.

Ring us (5983 1355) on arrival. When we are ready to see you, we will open the front door to call you in or, if organised with GP, they will see you outside or in your car.
