14.01.2022 >> Mobile Booking App Update Unfortunately our mobile app is experiencing a glitch on the appointment booking form after a new update went live. We are currently trying to resolve the issue but it may take us a little while. Until then you will not be able to make appointments via our app. Online bookings can still be made from our website without problem though; it's only the app that has been affected by the update. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.... Once the issue has been resolved we will let you know :) See more

14.01.2022 >>Flu Shots [ UPDATE ] - Trivalent (3 strain) flu shots are now available FREE of charge to patients with a valid Medicare Card. - Quadrivalent (4 strain) flu shots were delayed by the Government due to a change in the formula. These will be available very soon. We will keep you up to date as we know more.... Want to know the difference between Tri and Quad Flu Shots? The Trivalent vaccine has 3 included strains of the flu (2 different strains of influenza A and 1 strain of influenza B). The Quadrivalent has 4 included strains (2 different types of influenza A, and 2 different types of influenza B), offering you greater protection. In past years the Government has funded Trivalent flu shots for eligible patients (over 65yo, pregnant women, ATSI and many patients with chronic illnesses), so the Tri shots were often considered the standard vaccine. They also tend to have a lower fee for non-eligible patients. Our 2015 flu vaccines were trivalent. For the first time, the Government is now funding the Quadrivalent flu shots for eligible patients in 2016. When stock of the vaccine arrives these will be free to eligible patients. If you are not eligible for the Government funded flu shots, don't worry, we have you covered as well. You have the choice between Trivalent (which we are offering for free) or Quadrivalent (which will cost a small fee). You can access the Trivalent Flu Shots today if you wish. Or keep watching our page to find out when you can book your Quadrivalent flu shot.
