16.01.2022 If you are a person with disability, or care or work with people with disability, you may be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in phase 1a and 1b of the vaccine rollout. A vaccination will help protect you and your community. It’s safe, free and voluntary. You can use the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility checker to find out when you can receive a vaccine or call the Disability Gateway on 1800 643 787.... Please be patient. COVID-19 vaccinations are in high demand so you may need to wait a little while for your appointment. If you need information in a language other than English, call the Translating and Interpreting Service on 131 450. If you are deaf, or have a hearing or speech impairment, you can call the National Relay Service on 133 677.
