The immunisation schedule

Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting your child against harmful diseases that can cause serious complications and sometimes death. Immunisation will help your child stay healthy because it reduces the risk of serious diseases.

Vaccinations can be given by your doctor, immunisation clinic and some hospitals. If your child has not been immunised, or has missed a vaccination, it is easy to catch up. Just ask your doctor or immunisation provider for advice.

A complete schedule of the current vaccinations required under the National Immunisation Program can be accessed below:
