Victorian COVID-19 lockdown: What this means for Bendigo Community Health Services

Victoria will enter a seven-day lockdown from midnight.
What does this mean for Bendigo Community Health Services?
As an essential service we will continue to operate our Eaglehawk, Central and Kangaroo Flat sites.
All our sites are run under strict COVID-19 protocols so they are as safe as we can possibly make them.
We ask for you help in allowing us to keep a safe environment by when you visit one of our sites wearing a mask, sanitising your hands, scanning the QR code when you arrive and do the screening questions with one of our Client Services staff. This all takes a bit of time we know so we ask for patience and support when dealing with our staff.
Please call us on 5406 1200 if you would like to cancel an appointment or change to Telehealth and we will see if this can be done.
Not all appointments can be done by Telehealth as some require assessment or procedure.
With Active Living group sessions and other activities our staff will contact you soon to talk about arrangements.
Our next available appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations is June 9 but if you want to get vaccinated earlier or need the Pfizer vaccination only we recommend the Bendigo Health vaccination hub at 113-133 Mollison Street in Bendigo. It's open between 10am to 5pm every day and you should call 1800 675 398. The hub will accept a limited number of walk-ins each day.
Please stay tuned for further updates.
If you have any concerns please call 5406 1200 and our friendly client services staff will help you out.
We are taking a huge amount of calls at the moment and there might be a little wait so again we ask for your patience and support!
