We are continuing our immunisation program under guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services and implementing additional clinical infection control measures to minimise any risk to our community and staff.
We are monitoring the progress of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and will update you if any services are impacted. Please come back here regularly to check for updates.
Important information: changes to delivery of immunisation program
The following control measures apply to all immunisation sessions:
- Only one parent or guardian can accompany a child for immunisation to assist with social distancing.

- Please wear short sleeve or loose fitting clothing to allow quick and easy access to the vaccination site.
- As directed by the Victorian Chief Health Officer, people over the age of 12 must wear a face covering when attending an immunisation appointment. Visit DHHS website for more information.
Please do not attend if:
- You or your child have symptoms of a respiratory infection (fever, cough, shortness of breath, or sore throat).
- You have returned from overseas in the last 14 days.
- You or your child are subject to a 14-day self-isolation requirement.
- You or your child have been in contact with anyone who has received a positive COVID-19 test in the last 14 days.
