What We Do
What Does Our Vaccination Team Do?
Our team supports you before, during and after your vaccine with screening, informed discussion and documentation for your records. We focus on the right schedule for your age and circumstances, any contraindications or precautions, and practical planning so appointments stay simple for families, busy professionals and travel bookings alike.
Nurse-led care and GP oversight
Scheduled appointments with trained clinicians, clear consent, and access to medical guidance when a vaccine question needs a doctor's review.
Routine, travel and occupational vaccines
Support for National Immunisation Program schedules, seasonal campaigns, travel plans and employer-related requirements where we offer those services.
Screening, safety and aftercare advice
Pre-vaccination checks, discussion of allergies and recent illness, what to expect after the visit, and when to seek advice for unexpected symptoms.
Same-building primary and allied care
Because 1st Health Hub brings general practice and multiple services together, follow-up, prescriptions or related care can be easier to coordinate when clinically appropriate.
What Is Immunisation?
Immunisation helps train your immune system using safe, regulated vaccines so your body can recognise and respond to specific infections. Programs are updated over time as expert advice evolves, which is why age-based schedules, boosters and travel recommendations can change year to year.
At 1st Health Hub we aim to make staying up to date straightforward: we explain what is indicated for you or your child, answer common questions about safety and side effects at a general education level, and help you plan catch-up doses when needed.
If you are unsure what you have already received, bring any prior records you have. Our team can discuss next steps and, when required, arrange GP review for more complex histories or specialised vaccine planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Vaccination at 1st Health Hub
Everything you need to know before your first appointment.
Our team is happy to help. Give us a call or send us a message and we will get back to you promptly.
Do I need a referral for a routine vaccination?
Most routine vaccinations do not require a referral. If you are unsure what you need, book an appointment and we will guide you. Some complex plans may benefit from a GP discussion first.
What should I bring to my vaccination appointment?
Bring your Medicare card if applicable, photo ID, immunisation history or child health book, a list of allergies and current medicines, and clothing that allows easy access to the upper arm when relevant.
Are vaccines safe?
Vaccines used in Australia meet strict regulatory standards. Like any medicine, vaccines can cause side effects; most are mild and short-lived. We discuss what to expect and when to seek care for unexpected symptoms.
Can more than one vaccine be given at the same visit?
Often yes when schedules allow, but it depends on age, product and clinical guidance. Your clinician will advise what can be combined safely at your appointment.
How far ahead should I book travel vaccines?
Many travel courses need more than one visit or time for immunity to develop. Where possible, book four to eight weeks before departure, or earlier if your itinerary is complex.
Do you offer workplace or employer-arranged vaccinations?
If your organisation partners with us or you need documentation for work, tell us when booking so we can confirm eligibility, paperwork and available services.
Which vaccines are free, and which have a private fee?
Eligibility for funded vaccines depends on age, program rules and government schedules. We explain what is funded for you on the day and any out-of-pocket costs for private-supplied vaccines before consent.
Can I see a GP during the same visit if needed?
Often yes, subject to availability, which can help if you need a prescription, a more detailed plan or coordination with other care.
