I'm not a Melbourne local but a teleheath appt may be your answer. Eg https://www.hotdoc.com.au/medical-ce...bourne/doctors. I found this by googgling.so can't vouch for the service provided. You will need a private script for the antivirals unless you have a Medicare card. It will be pricey but assume your travel insurance will cover it.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia has granted provisional approval for two oral COVID-19 treatments:

Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir + ritonavir) or Lagevrio (molnupiravir).
You will need to check with the pharmacies whether they stock them. I wish you well.
