The City of Greater Bendigo is undertaking a review of its Immunisation Services to ensure the service is meeting the needs of the community.
Residents can have input into the review by completing a short online survey on the City’s community engagement website Let’s Talk Greater Bendigo by Wednesday December 4, 2024.
City of Greater Bendigo Acting Manager Community and Environmental Health, Sue Harrison said in the last financial year the City provided a total of 10,504 immunisations at community sessions (6,725), school sessions (3,333) and 446 influenza vaccinations for City staff.
“The City’s free immunisation services are accessed by a large number of people and by undertaking a review we want to find out residents experiences and satisfaction with the current service,” said Ms Harrison.
“This is an important project because we want to gain an understanding of the challenges and barriers residents may face when accessing the service and identify what's working well and the areas where improvements could be made,
“The information provided by residents through the survey will help us to determine how often, and where, public immunisation clinics are held, if we need to provide better access to the clinics and if services are being delivered in the best possible way.
“The review is about building community trust and knowledge and we really want to hear the thoughts of residents about the services they use so we can ensure they can access the services they want and need.”
The survey opens on Wednesday November 6 and will close on Wednesday December 4, 2024.
