The GP Vaccination Hubs aim to increase access to COVID-19 vaccines across the SEMPHN catchment for vulnerable populations including:

• those who are experiencing homelessness, including those living on the streets, in emergency accommodation, boarding houses or between temporary shelters;
• those who do not have a Medicare card or are not eligible for Medicare;
• people with a disability or who are frail and cannot leave home (homebound individuals);
• First Nations Peoples;
• culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse people, especially asylum seekers and refugees and those in older age groups who may find it difficult to use other vaccination services;
• children aged 5-11 who have complex needs, who are not captured by another suitable vaccination channel, and
• any other vulnerable groups identified as requiring dedicated support to access vaccinations.

GP Vaccination Hubs will be undertaking a range of activities and may include;

• Pop-up clinics.
• Promotion and Education sessions to local groups.
• Accepting referrals from partner organisations for people who may require additional support to receive a COVID vaccine.
• Emphasis on after-hours and weekend vaccination sessions.
• Low Sensory Vaccination Clinics and spaces to support people with sensory processing issues.
