Frequently Asked
Immunisations — your questions answered
How do I know what vaccines I'm due for?
Bring your immunisation history — or we can look it up via the Australian Immunisation Register. We'll create a personalised catch-up plan.
Can I get multiple vaccines in one visit?
Yes — most vaccines can be safely given together. Saves trips and gets you protected faster.
My child missed some vaccines — can we catch up?
Absolutely. The NIP covers free catch-up vaccinations for children up to age 19. Book a longer appointment so we can plan it properly.
Are travel vaccines covered by the NIP?
No — travel vaccines are private cost. The consultation is bulk-billed; vaccine prices vary.
Do you do COVID-19 vaccinations?
Yes, we are a current COVID-19 provider. Eligible patients are free. Co-administration with the flu vaccine is recommended.
Will my child need a booster?
Most NIP vaccines need boosters at 4 years and again in Year 7 / Year 10. Our reminder system flags these automatically.
