Protect yourself this flu season

Published on 02 February 2026

We are running public flu shot sessions from early April to May 2026. Our qualified nurse immunisers administer the flu shot at our clinics.

Who is it for?

Anyone aged 6 months or older should get an annual flu vaccine. People over 65 need to contact their GP as we cannot administer the flu vaccine.

By getting your flu vaccine, you are not only protecting yourself, you are protecting babies less than 6 months old and people who are medically at risk.

Fee

This year, the Victoria Government is not offering a free flu vaccine. It will be available for $25 per vaccine.

A vaccine must be paid for on the day of your session (where payment is due). We accept EFTPOS or credit card only.

You do not need to register to receive a flu vaccine for a child who is due for their scheduled vaccines at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 4 years.

After receiving the shot you will need to wait 15 minutes before leaving as a precaution.

Locations and booking

Flu vaccines are available at all clinics.
