EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000) for an ambulance. Ambulances are the safest way to be assessed, treated and transported to the right hospital for the care you need.

Triple zero (000) is a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For less severe but still urgent situations, go to an Emergency Department.

There are 12 public hospital Emergency Departments in Northern NSW Local Health District and they are all available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Pop-up vaccination clinic coming to Bonalbo
Published: 29 Jan 2022

A pop-up vaccination clinic will open in Bonalbo next Friday 4 and Saturday 5 February.

WHERE: Bonalbo Multi-Purpose Service, Hospital Road, Bonalbo
WHEN: 8.30am – 3.30pm Friday 4 and Saturday 5 February

The clinic will be offering Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine boosters. To make a booking, please visit the Vaccine Clinic Finder.

Bookings are strongly recommended, however walk-ins will also be accepted. Please bring your Medicare card if you have one. If you do not have a Medicare card you can still have a free vaccination.

You are eligible for a booster vaccination if you are aged 18 and over and received your second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at least three months ago.

A booster dose helps to strengthen your immune system and improve your long-term protection against serious illness from the COVID-19 virus. The immunity created by COVID-19 vaccines begins to wane over time and getting boosted will help us all maintain a high level of protection against COVID-19.

If a person tests positive for COVID-19 following their primary doses, they should wait until they have recovered from the acute illness to get their booster. If concerned about the timing of your booster please speak to your GP about your individual circumstances.
