The Royal Melbourne Hospital is operating one of Victoria’s high-volume COVID-19 Vaccination Centres, located at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

As part of our response to COVID-19 we have made some changes to our outpatient appointments. This includes advice about people who are currently in quarantine and still require medical care including outpatient and imaging appointments.

We have compiled a number of answers about what COVID-19 is, visiting the hospital and how to reduce the spread within the community.

Under the current Department of Health guidelines, all patients require COVID-19 screening 72 hours before elective surgery and some procedures. This will help ensure staff have the right protocols in place to care for you safely.

The Department of Health and Human Services has information about COVID-19 in community languages.
