In order to keep you, your family, the community and our staff & Doctors as safe as possible during this uncertain time, we are requesting that you book a TELEPHONE or TELEHEALTH consultation with your doctor. Following this initial consult, your doctor will advise you on whether you need a face-to-face visit to the practice. You can be reassured that we are putting great measures in place to ensure you are as safe as possible when visiting our practice.
We will review this on a week to week basis and this information may change in the future without notice. Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding.

Who will Receive the Vaccine and When?
Burwood Healthcare will contact patients to let them know when they can make an appointment for a vaccination. Please ensure your contact numbers are up to date. Patients will be contacted at different times according to eligibility for a vaccination. The process is coordinated by the Australian Federal Government and will occur in three (3) phases:
- Phase 1a is scheduled to commence in February, and will immunise frontline healthcare workers, quarantine workers, and Nursing Home residents and staff. Burwood Healthcare will not be involved in Phase 1a.
- Phase 1b is scheduled to commence in March, and will include people over the age of 70, Indigenous people over the age of 55, people with an underlying medical condition, health care workers, and critical workers (i.e., police). Burwood Healthcare has been approved to be a vaccination centre for Phase 1b, Phase 2a and Phase 2b.
- Phase 2a will immunise people aged 50 to 69, and Indigenous people aged 18-54.
- Phase 2b will immunise the rest of the adult population.
- Phase 3 will immunise minors under 16 if recommended.
