What is a community immunisation clinic?
A community immunisation clinic is a service run by Council that provides free vaccinations to eligible residents.
If you don’t meet the eligibility criteria, some vaccinations are available to purchase.
Paid vaccinations include:
- Meningococcal B (Bexsero), for people who don't meet the eligibility criteria for the free vaccine
- Tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough.
Check your eligibility
The National Immunisation Program Schedule details which vaccines are available at our community clinics and who is eligible to receive them.
As vaccines and eligibility can change, you should refer to the schedule to check what's available.
- Infants and children up to 19 years of age can get various vaccinations at our clinics. This includes international and interstate visitors.
- Seniors can book an appointment and visit any community immunisation clinic to receive free vaccinations.
- All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can access free vaccinations at community immunisation clinics.
Vaccination programs

Queensland Paediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Prevention Program
The RSV vaccination will be available to eligible residents at Council clinics from Monday 6 May 2024. For eligibility, check the Queensland Health website.
The dosage for this vaccine is weight dependent, therefore all clients must have their child weighed 7 days prior to presenting for this vaccination, and have this weight clearly documented in the child’s Personal Health Record (PHR).
Parents who present without the child’s weight documented in the PHR within the last 7 days will be asked to rebook at a later date once they have had their child weighed.
Queensland MenB Vaccination Program
The Bexsero vaccine is now available at Council clinics for free to eligible residents. For eligibility, check the Queensland Health website.
