Changes to immunisation sessions

Council’s immunisation sessions are still running and session times have been extended with extra precautions in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

It is important that families continue with their immunisation schedule, however if you or your child are unwell (have a fever, cough and shortness of breath) or have travelled overseas in the last 14 days please do not attend a session.

Maternal and Child Health service changes

We will continue to provide MCH services to families, however alternative methods such as telephone calls may be used instead of face-to-face consultations. Appointments with parents of children under eight weeks of age or considered ‘at-risk’ will be prioritised. Group sessions will cease until further notice. Parents will be notified directly on how they may be affected by these service changes.
