Workplace immunisation service
Booking a workplace immunisation session
There's peace of mind knowing you're making your workplace as safe as possible.
You can book a workplace visit for your staff immunisations, and we will provide you with guidelines, factsheets and consent cards.
You'll also be given a complete listing of all staff vaccinated for your work, health and safety records.
We visit around 50 local workplaces each year to protect workers with a range of vaccines.
This program mainly immunises people with the influenza vaccine, but we can arrange other vaccines.

Each staff member will receive an individual record card of their vaccination on the day.
All vaccinations are uploaded to the Australian Immunisation Register.
Staff who are absent on the day will be issued a voucher. The voucher can be used at any of our public immunisation sessions until 30 August 2024 to receive their vaccine.
