- Have a fever, cough, runny nose, or other symptoms that could be COVID-19
- Are waiting for COVID-19 test results
- Have tested positive with COVID-19 and are in isolation

If you have had another vaccine in the 14 days before your COVID-19 vaccine appointment, you should tell your immunisation provider.
At your appointment you will need your Medicare card and photo ID, as well as your employee ID if you are getting a COVID-19 vaccine because of your occupation.
If you are not an existing patient of the clinic you are visiting, you may need to provide your medical history. Contact the clinic before your appointment to check the requirements.
After you receive the vaccination, you will be required to stay in the clinic for at least 15 minutes to ensure you don’t have a negative reaction.
You will be able to get proof of vaccination from your Medicare immunisation history through myGov, or by calling Medicare on 1800 653 809.

These services will be allowed to have up to 20 customers per space, and customer contact details will need to be recorded.

The Victorian government will allow cafes, restaurants and pubs to reopen their doors to serve meals to up to 20 customers at a time per enclosed space from June 1. From June 22, this could increase to up to 50 patrons. The number of patrons may increase up to 100 during the second half of July. Read more here.
Victorians will be allowed to have up to five guests in their home from Wednesday, under new changes to COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria.
The changes, which come into effect at 11.59pm on Tuesday, May 12, also allow outdoor gatherings such as recreational and sporting activities with up to 10 people.
Premier Daniel Andrews said restrictions remain in place for businesses like cafes and restaurants, at least until June, when the government would review the restrictions again.
Many of Camberwell’s cafes and restaurants are operating under restricted trade, offering takeaway and home delivered orders, and local residents can continue to support them in this way.
The premier said the government wanted to wait a few extra weeks before lifting restrictions on cafes and restaurants to see if they could increase the limit beyond 10 patrons at a time.
Mr Andrews said the feedback from many businesses was that reopening for just 10 patrons at a time would prove hard to be viable.
The government wants to wait and see if they can take an even bigger step in June, and potentially increase the limit beyond 10 patrons, so that these businesses have a better chance at viability.
Under the eased restrictions, visiting friends and family – if you really need to – will be added to reasons to leave your home.
There are also changes to weddings, funerals and religious gatherings.
The changes allow up to 10 guests at weddings, in addition to the couple and celebrant.
For funerals, up to 20 guests will be allowed to attend an indoor ceremony, while up to 30 people will be permitted to attend an outdoor ceremony.
Religious gatherings and ceremonies can host up to 10 guests, in addition to the people required to host the gathering.
“I’m asking Victorians to use common sense – you should only spend time together if it’s safe,” Mr Andrews said.
“And you should only be undertaking these activities if you really need to. If it’s integral to your health and wellbeing.”
Local businesses are still open in Camberwell, providing services and products your family need as best they can, but they will need your help to ensure they make it through the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

Many businesses in Camberwell are family-run, owner operated and franchise businesses that employ local residents, which is why it’s so important to shop local through these tough times.
There are numerous ways you can still support local businesses while staying safe and healthy. If you’re out and about, remember to wave or bump elbows instead of shaking hands or giving a hug.
You can support your favourite cafes, restaurants and eateries by ordering takeaway meals, whether you pick them up or have them delivered. Pay with your debit or credit card and avoid paying with cash or coins where possible.
Small businesses are expected to be the hardest hit, so keep them in mind when you go shopping next. Why not buy a gift card from a small retailer as a gift for someone’s birthday that they can spend later. Otherwise you could visit their website and buy one of their products or services online.
You could always give your local store a call to place an order by email or over the phone too. Many businesses are offering a delivery service to locals and will be happy to help you with your questions and place an order to deliver to your door or have ready for you to call in quickly to collect. They are happy to offer a friendly chat for those who call in personally, and you might want to check in to see how the business owner and staff are going, because that’s what communities do — they look out for each other. You can view the full shop directory here to find businesses in Camberwell that need your support now more than ever.
