Immunisation
Redland City Council provides free immunisation for vaccines listed on the National Immunisation Program Schedule 
[PDF 36KB]
Who is eligible to receive free immunisation from Redland City Council:
- Infants and children
- Students who missed their immunisation at school
- Seniors
- Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders
Please note that children who are younger than the exact age specified in the NIPS cannot be immunised with that vaccine, e.g. children presenting for two-month vaccination must be at least two months old to the day. If they miss a vaccine, they can receive it anytime up to the day before their eighth birthday, except as indicated in the table below.
Residents who live outside the Redland City Council area can still use the immunisation service.
No booking is needed
There are at least two Nurse Immunisers at each clinic; you will be seen in order of arrival. You must remain at the clinic for at least 15 minutes after immunisation for observation.
What to bring to a Council immunisation clinic
If you are bringing your baby for two-month immunisation, all you need to bring is your Medicare number. For older infants, children or adults that have received some immunisation elsewhere, you should bring an immunisation history statement (see below) or the red ‘baby book’.
Immunisation history
If your child was born in 1996 or after, you can request a statement from Medicare’s Australian Childhood Immunisation Register. Call Medicare 1800 653 809 or visit the website at www.medicareaustralia.gov.au.
Redland City Council also keeps records for everyone that is immunised at our clinics. You will receive a written record of any immunisation received at the clinic.
Immunisation consent form
For people under the age of 18, written consent must be given by the parent or legal guardian. If someone other than the parent or legal guardian brings a child to be immunised, they must bring a consent form signed by the parent or legal guardian. Before giving consent, you must be aware of the effects of diseases compared to possible effects of vaccines (click here for this information). Consent forms are available at the clinics or download Immunisation consent form [PDF 300KB]
When should a person not be immunised?
If a person has a fever temperature of 38.5C or more in the past 24 hours, they should not be immunised. A person can still receive immunisation with a head cold, unless they have a fever.
