Immunisation program
To help protect the health of our community, we provide free vaccinations, user-pay vaccines and school-based immunisation for secondary school students.
Book an immunisation session
Please call our immunisation line on 9688 0145 to make an appointment.
Attending an immunisation session
Please note the drop in immunisation session on Tuesday 17 September will finish at 5.45pm.
Please bring your Childhood Health Record Book and Medicare details with you. Families with no Medicare are eligible for vaccinations.
You should arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the session finishing as there is a 15 minute observation period after immunisations.
Always read the pre-immunisation checklist and inform the nurse of any concerns prior to immunisation.
Infant Immunisation
Children can be immunised from 6 weeks of age. When attending your child's first immunisation session, please complete the pink consent card and bring with you.
No jab, no play/No jab, no pay
Children can only be enrolled in kindergarten and childcare with proof that they are fully immunised for their age, or have commenced an immunisation catch up program. Some tax and childcare benefits may be withheld by the Government if your child is not fully immunised.
Incomplete immunisation history
The immunisation service can assist you with a 'catch up' plan for incomplete, missing or overseas immunisation records.
Drop-in immunisation services
Immunisations can be done at one of our drop in immunisation sessions. These sessions provide all free vaccinations and are available to Medicare card holders.

What vaccines should your child get?
We follow the current National Immunisation Program Schedule .
