The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine program in Victoria has begun.

If you are feeling confused or uncertain about the vaccine and what it all means, check out these key facts from the Victorian Department of Health:

Information is starting to become available on Australia-wide Covid-19 vaccination. These sites offer useful information that is now being updated regularly.

When more local information becomes available to us, we will share it with you here and on our Facebook page.

There will be a need to reschedule some Gateway Health appointments due to the new 5-day Covid-19 lockdown announced by the Victorian Premier, starting 11:59pm Friday 12 February.

If you have an appointment scheduled any time from Monday 15/2 to Wednesday 17/2, you can expect to be contacted by us.  

Gateway Health phone reception will continue to operate as usual.

Free ‘in person’ legal advice for Gateway Health clients is available once more from Hume Riverina Community Legal Service.

Face-to-face meetings were suspended some time ago due to Covid-19, but the service is now able to meet clients again in person, as long as masks are worn at all times.

If you need to cross State borders to come to Gateway Health, please note that people living in border communities do not currently need a permit to cross. But you will need to wear a mask when inside at any of our premises (Wodonga, Wangaratta and Myrtleford).

New travel restrictions have been introduced for people travelling to and from parts of New South Wales in response to a cluster of Covid-19 infections in Sydney’s Northern Beaches area.

The situation is being monitored closely and it is possible that further restrictions may be introduced.

We all need iron in our diet to keep our bodies healthy and working properly. A new video from Gateway Health provides interesting information on just how important it is, and how we can make sure we’re getting enough.

Even better the video is also available in a range of languages spoken by some of our newest migrant groups in the community.

Working with the Albury Wodonga Ethnic Communities Council (AWECC), the Gateway Health video has been produced in English, and translated into three languages commonly spoken amongst newer arrivals: Swahili, Kinyarwanda, and Nepali.

Gateway Health is helping deliver a new Commonwealth Government service providing additional mental health support to Victorians during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Anyone struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns around Covid-19 can call a single number - 1800 595 212 - for easy access and referral to a wide range of support services.

When we hear the word ‘malnutrition’ many people tend to think of third-world countries, famines and natural disasters.

But malnutrition can be a problem much closer to home, even in a relatively prosperous country like Australia – and even in regional Victoria.

To help raise awareness of malnutrition issues, Australia’s first ever Malnutrition Week is being held from 6-9 October.
