Cairns West Medical Centre have been approved by the Australian Government to be part of the national roll-out for the COVID-19 Vaccination.
We are aiming to vaccinate the entire nation, so the time allocated per patient is 6 mins and a 15-min waiting time afterwards. If you have any question in relation to the vaccination itself this will require a separate appointment with one of our general practitioners.
Currently, we are only taking online bookings for Phase 1 A and 1B.
ONLY patients who have a Medicare Card can be vaccinated in our clinic.
ONLY patients who are 50 years and over can be vaccinated in our clinic, more information below.
Individuals without a Medicare card can receive the vaccine from a GP led Respiratory Clinic or a state/territory vaccination clinic.
Requirements prior to booking and attending:
If any of your documents are not in order on the day of the clinic, you will NOT be vaccinated and required to correct, and re-book online.
The table below provides examples of appropriate types of proof per population group:
If you have any questions, or tick any YES on the consent form you cannot book into the clinic, a separate appointment is first required with one of our GP’s to discuss it further.
