The majority of Australians aged 18 and over are now eligible for a Covid vaccination if they are willing to consider the AstraZeneca vaccine, and provided they do not have a history of some specific health conditions.
In addition to the government’s official eligibility checker, which lists some clinics near your location which might have vaccination appointments available, there are a number of other helpful resources that can help you to find somewhere that has appointments open.
National
The Covid Near Me website, which provides a user-friendly interface for checking exposure sites near your location, has also started a new section that maps all vaccination locations, colours them to show which have availability in the near future, and allows you to filter by provider type, vaccine type and other information. Map pins take you directly to the online booking form where available.
State hubs are also shown but are less obvious using the default settings, as there is no information about when appointments are available. For more information on state hubs, check each state section on this page below.

For pharmacies only, you can use this map of chemists taking part in the vaccination rollout. Not all of them offer online bookings but those that do will be shown after clicking on the map pins.

For GPs that use the HotDoc online booking system, you can search for an available appointment by using the HotDoc site directly.
