Childhood Vaccinations
All childhood vaccinations are bulk billed.
If your child is under five, you will need to have your Medicare card with you, because vaccinations of children up to school age are required to be added to a national register.

Other Vaccinations
Travel and non-childhood vaccinations are not claimable through Medicare. If you are in a private health fund you may be able to claim depending on the level of your insurance. Please contact the reception staff to find out the costs of your required vaccinations.
