COVID-19 VACCAINTIONS

For a number of operational reasons, Federation Clinic will not be offering COVID-19 vaccinations. For eligibility and a full list of sites offering the vaccine patients can visit the Australian Government Covid-19 Information Page at: www.health.gov.au/covid-19vaccines.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

In an emergency please call '000'.

Every effort is made to keep appointments running to time, however, due to the unpredictable nature of our work this is not always possible. Patients are encouraged to contact us prior to an appointment to check that the schedule is running to time.

Please give thought to the amount of time your appointment may require. If there are multiple or complex issues that need discussion, please let reception know when booking your appointment so that sufficient time can be allocated with the doctor.
