Immunisations
Immunisation helps to protect your baby from very serious illnesses and infectious diseases.
The first immunisation for hepatitis is offered just after birth in hospitals. More are due at two months of age.
Ask your doctor or child health nurse for more information. These are also listed in your baby’s First Health Record (the blue book).
In every blue book, you’ll find a schedule for your child’s immunisations from birth to adolescence.
You can also download the immunisation schedule and check your child's immunisations.
A selected number of clinics and local councils offer regular free childhood immunisation clinics.
If your usual clinic does not provide this, you can take your child to the nearest free clinic available.
Your early childhood health centre will also be able to provide you with a timetable of your local council’s immunisation program.
