Late clinics at Woodburn Health

We are trialling a late clinic on Tuesday evenings, offering appointments outside standard working hours.
This service is designed to support people who work during the day or find it difficult to attend appointments during normal clinic times. We hope this trial will make accessing care more convenient and flexible for our community.

Please note that late clinic appointments will not be available to book via HotDoc. Patients wishing to attend will need to phone the clinic directly to make an appointment.

FOUND at Woodburn Health

It’s safe, well-behaved, and clearly wondering where its owner went. If you are the owner give us call. It’s missing you and wants to go home

Our stock of Japanese Encephalitis vaccines has arrived. To arrange an appointment with one of our nurses for vaccination, please phone 6682 2164.

05/01/2026

There has been recent concern about Japanese Encephalitis (JE) in our local area. The Richmond Valley is eligible for the free JE vaccination; and we have vaccines available.

Vaccination is recommended for those at highest risk. Once fully vaccinated, it can take between 2 to 4 weeks for your body to develop a protective immune response to the disease, so if you’re eligible, you should get vaccinated as soon as possible.
