Immunisation helps protect our community from serious diseases by using our body's natural defence system to build resistance to a disease.

Getting vaccinated is an important part of immunisation. 

We provide free vaccinations for children as part of the National Immunisation Program Schedule. Find out more on our Childhood immunisation page.

Appointments

All immunisation sessions are by appointment only. This helps our service to manage attendance numbers and follow social distancing requirements. 

We have moved to a new online booking platform, Central Immunisation Records Victoria (CIRV), which is a Victorian Department of Health website.

If you are a new user on CIRV, you'll need to create an account. Then sign in to book, change or cancel an immunisation appointment.

Attending an immunisation appointment

If you or your child are feeling unwell on the day of your appointment with a fever, runny nose, sore throat, or cough, you must reschedule. 

Bring your child's green book and Medicare card. One parent or guardian can come with a child to their appointment.

Wear short or loose-fitting sleeves to make it easier to administer the vaccine.

Please don't arrive any earlier than 5 minutes before your appointment. You'll be asked to come back closer to your appointment time if you arrive too early.

You must stay for 15 minutes after the vaccination.
