Alternatively, free catch-up vaccines are available through local general practitioners (GPs), pharmacist immunisers and Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS). Please note the GP may charge a consultation fee.

Students who miss vaccine doses due to absence on the day of the clinic will be advised to receive any catch-up vaccination at their local GP or pharmacist immuniser.
Translated information about IEC vaccination is available in 28 languages.
Students who are enrolled in distance education or who are home-schooled are eligible for free age-appropriate vaccines. Adolescents can access vaccines from their GP, pharmacist immuniser, Aboriginal medical service, community health centre or other immunisation provider.
