Please ensure that you bring your Medicare card, your child’s Health and Development Book (Blue Book) and any other relevant immunisation records. If your child has been vaccinated overseas you will be required to provide a copy of the vaccination records. If the records are not in English they will need to be translated prior to visiting the clinics.

To improve the service the records will need to be reviewed offsite before immunisation can occur If a child attending Council's clinic is under the age of 16, their parent/legal guardian must consent to the administration of the vaccine(s). If you intend having your child vaccinated and are unable to attend with your child you need to be contactable by phone as the Registered Nurse will need to obtain a verbal consent.

In South Australia, the School Based Immunisation Program offers funded vaccinations for the following:

Year 8 students male and female

• Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines (Gardasil 9) 2 doses
• Adult/Adolescent Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis (Boostrix) single dose

Year 10 students male and female

• Meningococcal B vaccines (Bexsero) 2 doses
• Meningococcal ACWY vaccine (Nimenrix) single dose

These vaccines are all provided free of charge and consent forms/cards are distributed by your school. It is very important that you return the completed consent, even if you do not want your child immunised. If you have not received a consent form/card, please contact your child’s school. If your child has missed a school immunisation session, you will be notified and given the option of attending a Council public immunisation session or your GP.
