COVID-19 vaccination program
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 helps to protect ourselves and the South Australian community.
All South Australians aged 5 and over can now book a COVID-19 vaccination.
Further information about booking an appointment and what to do before and after your vaccination appointment can be found here.
COVID-19 Care Centre
A dedicated COVID-19 Care Centre operates within our Hospital Avoidance and Supported Discharge Service.
This referral only service provides specialist multidisciplinary care for COVID positive patients who need some extra treatment for both COVID related and non-COVID related matters, but do not need to be in hospital.
Mask wearing
All patients, carers and visitors entering our sites must wear a mask in line with SA Government processes. Thank you for being patient with this and for being respectful to the staff undertaking the screening.
There may also be specific visitor restrictions or additional PPE requirements based on the location of a patient within the hospital and/or the patient’s condition. This is to ensure the safety of vulnerable conditions.
Thank you for your understanding as we try and keep our community healthy.
This video shows you how to put a mask on and off.
