IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PATIENTS
Due to COVID-19, we need to ensure we can identify our patients’ needs and triage them accordingly. For the safety of you and our staff, we are currently unable to accept online bookings.

The flu (also called influenza) is a contagious infection of the airways. It is especially serious for some people. As part of the National Immunisation Program, the flu vaccine is free for:
children over 6 months of age, people over 65 years, people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island descent, pregnant women, and those with significant risk of medical complication.
Vaccination is a safe and effective way to help protect from severe illness caused by the flu.
Due to new practice policies, we will need to identify patients’ needs and provide appropriate care in order to treat patients effectively.
When a patient calls to make an appointment, you will be asked about the nature of the visit to your doctor. In letting us know briefly the reason, we can ensure the appropriate care is given within an appropriate period.
April 2025 is April Falls Month. It’s set to prevent the cost and trauma of falls. We also have World Autism Day, Women’s Health Day, World Parkinson’s Day, Haemophilia Day, Malaria Day, World Immunology Week, and the World Day for Safety and Health at Work.
Check the calendar for any important days for Narara Valley Medical.
