Immunisation Services

Council's Immunisation service provides free immunisations as part of the National Immunisation Program Schedule.

VaxApp

Great news! To improve our service delivery, we have now moved to using VaxApp, an online immunisation management platform.

By using VaxApp, you can:

• Book and manage individual and family appointments online
• Provide digital consent during the booking process, which reduces onsite administration at your appointment, and reduces paper usage
• Receive reminders to book future appointments when you or your child is due for their next vaccines

COVIDSafe Immunisations 

Each family will be allocated 15-minute appointments to ensure the safety of all.

We ask that you arrive promptly to your appointment and do not enter the waiting area if the previous family has not yet vacated.

Please comply with all current recommended COVID safety and social distancing measures.

To book an appointment please call 1300 520 520.

We appreciate your patience and support as we work to ensure we can service all of our Buloke families.
