Australia’s new national vaccination information and location service is live but is not yet fully functional, with a restricted number of clinics listed on the searchable Healthdirect site and only a handful showing they are offering online bookings. Most are listed as offering telephone bookings only.

Health Minister Greg Hunt announced this morning that Australians eligible for Phase 1B will be able to find a vaccination provider through the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility checker, with vaccinations beginning next week.
