We are a bulk billing practice. This means if you have a valid Medicare card, we bill Medicare for your doctor consultation.

Some complex services or procedures may not be fully covered by Medicare. In these cases, there may be a gap fee (an out-of-pocket cost), which we’ll let you know at the time of your consultation.

Protecting your baby against influenza starts when you're pregnant.

For every pregnancy and at any stage of pregnancy, it is safe and recommended for women to get a flu shot yearly. Changes to immune, heart and lung function during pregnancy can increase vulnerability to flu-related complications.

Getting vaccinated during pregnancy is also the best way to protect your newborn. By getting the flu vaccine, you pass on the protective antibodies through the placenta which protects them in their first few months of life, when they are most vulnerable and too young to have the influenza vaccine.

You can also ask your family GP if you have questions about your pregnancy and recommended immunisations.

It is recommended that people travelling during the influenza season receive a flu vaccine.

Australians who have received a current southern hemisphere flu vaccine and are travelling later in the year to the northern hemisphere during their flu season (usually October to May) may receive a second dose of the flu vaccine before departure.

Ask your GP about the recommended immunisations to stay healthy during your travels.

The flu is more than a bad cold. It is a common viral infection that affects people of all ages. While it can be a mild illness for some, it can also cause very serious illness in otherwise healthy people. It can lead to hospitalisation and can cause death. Vaccination is the safest way to protect yourself and others from the flu.

Speak to your GP about getting a flu vaccination today.

Vaccination is highly recommended for people aged 65 years and over as they are at high risk of developing serious complications from flu. This is partly because our immune defence weakens as we age.

All adults aged 65 and over are eligible for a free influenza vaccine that is specifically made to boost the immune response for better protection.

Chat with your GP about getting a flu vaccination today.

Some people are at higher risk of complications due to the flu and it is recommended they get the flu vaccine. These include:
- Children aged 6 months to under 5 years
- Pregnant women for each pregnancy and at any stage of pregnancy
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 6 months and over
- People aged 65 years and over
- People aged 6 months and over with certain medical conditions such as cardiac disease, chronic respiratory condition, immunocompromising conditions, and others

Talk to your GP to find out if you are at a higher risk and how to protect yourself from the flu.
