Flu vaccines are now available at our surgery.

We’ll be running dedicated flu clinics, where patients are booked in at the same time to keep things running smoothly.

A few things to keep in mind:
• No need to be early – there’s limited seating
• You can also book a standard appointment if that suits you better
• Bookings are only available by phone (not online)

For children:
A nasal spray flu vaccine is available for children aged 2 to 5 years, if suitable.
For many children, this can be a more comfortable and less stressful alternative to a needle.

Give Reception a call to book your appointment.

We would like to let our patients know that as of 10 February 2026, our pathology colleagues at Southern IML Pathology are no longer operating from Callala Medical Centre.

We sincerely apologise for the sudden cease of operation and would like to thank all of the attending pathology staff, as well as the main office team, for their many years of support and service.

A very special mention goes to Emma, who truly felt like one of our own and was well known to many of our patients — she will be greatly missed.

We are pleased to advise that we will be welcoming a new pathology provider, Laverty Pathology, with services expected to commence in early March. Some patients may already be familiar with Laverty through their location at the Standish Centre, Nowra.

📄 Important Information About Your Requests:

• Existing Southern IML request forms can still be used at our Laverty Pathology collection centre, as well as at other Southern IML locations.
• If you have recurring tests and have already submitted your form to Southern IML at our centre, you will need to attend another Southern IML collection centre until you receive a new request from your doctor.

Please note that most pathology specimens can still be dropped off at our reception desk. If you’re unsure whether your specimen can be accepted, please call us and our team will be happy to advise.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to continuing to care for you with our new pathology provider soon.

We’ve found a jumper/sweatshirt left behind in one of our toilets on Monday morning.

If you think it might be yours, please contact our reception team on 4446 5350 to describe it — we’ll need to know the colour, size, and brand to confirm ownership.

If unclaimed, we plan to donate the item to a local clothing charity to ensure it finds a good home.

With experience across hospitals and clinics in Queensland and NSW, she’s looking forward to joining our beautiful coastal community and getting to know our patients.

Dr Najeeb will be available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

To help her settle in, we’re initially limiting some appointment types. But in time, she’ll be providing a full range of general consultations like our other doctors.

Appointments are open now – you can book online via HotDoc or by calling our reception team on 4446 5350.

Please join us in making Dr Najeeb feel welcome!

At Callala Medical Centre, all adult injections and immunisations require a pre-booked appointment through our reception team — these appointments cannot be booked online.

- Adult Injections (e.g. B12, Prolia):
These require a prescription from your doctor before the injection appointment. Common examples include B12 and Prolia (Prolia may also need a blood test beforehand). Once you have the medication, we’ll schedule a time with both a doctor and a nurse to administer it.

- Adult Immunisations (e.g. shingles, COVID, or flu vaccines):
These are typically supplied through government programs and are often already in stock at the surgery. However, you’ll still need an appointment with both a doctor and a nurse.

To ensure safe and timely care, all injection and immunisation appointments must be booked by calling our reception team on 4446 5350. This helps us coordinate everything needed for your visit.

Due to the current weather conditions in our area, Callala Medical Centre will be closing early today at 1pm to ensure the safety of our patients and staff.

If you have an appointment scheduled for later today, we will be in touch to reschedule.

For any urgent medical concerns, please call 000 or visit the nearest emergency department.

We appreciate your understanding and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Stay safe and take care.

We have a couple of lost items at the surgery that we’d like to return to their rightful owners:

- A support brace that was left behind in Dr. Solling’s consultation room.
- A pair of sunglasses, featuring a distinctive pattern on the arms.

If you think either item might be yours, please call and speak to our friendly reception team.

You’ll need to provide a brief description to confirm ownership before collecting.

In the latest edition of Callala Bay News, our GPs are talking about something especially important for our community — protecting babies, children, and older adults from Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).

- What is RSV and why is it a concern?
- Who is most at risk?
- What new protection options are now available — and who’s eligible?

This month’s column has all the answers, including updates on free programs now available through the National Immunisation Program and NSW Health.

Whether you're expecting a baby, have young children, or are over 60 — it's worth a read.

Find the full article in the May edition of Callala Bay News, and as always, feel free to call us on 4446 5350 to ask questions or book an appointment.

At Callala Medical Centre, we are committed to providing a safe, respectful environment for everyone in our community — patients and staff alike.

Unfortunately, we’ve seen a recent increase in rudeness, aggression, and demanding behaviour directed at our reception staff. We understand that health matters can be stressful, but we kindly remind everyone that our team is here to help and deserves to be treated with courtesy and respect at all times.

We have a zero tolerance policy toward any form of abuse, in line with AGPAL standards. This includes aggression, shouting, swearing, intimidation or disrespect — whether in person or over the phone.

Our reception team are often the first point of contact, and sadly, often the first to receive the brunt of patient frustration. While our staff do their best to assist kindly and professionally, they have the right to refuse service to anyone behaving in an aggressive or abusive manner.

To those patients who continue to treat our staff with patience, politeness and generosity: thank you. Your kindness truly makes a difference, and we appreciate you.

Let’s continue to build a community where everyone feels safe and respected.
