A booking system is now live and open to take COVID-19 vaccine bookings from 5 April 2021.

Bookings are available only for Murdoch students and staff who are eligible for the vaccine in Phase 1b.

Please note, for the moment, international onshore students who are eligible for the vaccine in Phase 1b must attend a respiratory clinic for their vaccination.

Making a booking

To book at Murdoch University Medical Service, visit the Murdoch University Medical Service website and select ‘Book an appointment’. When prompted, select COVID-19 Vaccine Dose 1 or 2 as the reason for your appointment.

The online booking system has an inbuilt eligibility checker. It sends patients all required pre-appointment vaccine information and post-appointment information for monitoring adverse events.
