Immunisation Online Bookings and Updates
Every month, we hold immunisation sessions for routine scheduled vaccines on the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for infants, children, adolescents and adults who have, or are eligible for, a Medicare card.
A maximum of 2 adults can accompany the child being vaccinated
Access to free NIP vaccines requires a person to hold or be eligible for a Medicare card. For further information on eligibility, refer to the Immunisation Schedule Victoria and Eligibility criteria.
Refugees and humanitarian entrants of any age are eligible to receive free catch-up vaccines under the NIP.
Chickenpox vaccine update (8 July): Due to supply shortages, we are temporarily unable to offer the chickenpox (varicella) vaccine for purchase. The shortage does not affect the National Immunisation Program, and parents can still book chickenpox vaccine sessions online as part of the 18-month vaccine schedule.
