Call us to book a clinic in your workplace for 2024
News update 15 December 2023
For the 2024 flu vaccination season, the Queensland Government has offered free flu vaccinations to all persons residing in Queensland from 7 March 2024 to 30 September 2024, and has arrangements for GCNP to be reimbursed for all vaccinations that fall under that scheme. This includes Qld residents without a Medicare Card also. As it is for Qld residents only, those staff members that reside outside of Queensland will be required to pay GCNP the fees for administering a flu vaccination. Any clinics arranged before and after the these dates will be required to pay fees for each vaccination, including Queenslanders.
Vaccination helps improve your immune system against the flu and other viruses. Effective November 2020, all immunisation must now be recorded on AIR (Australian Immunisation Register). Anybody receiving a vaccination can check their record on the new My Health mobile app.
To set it up go to https://www.digitalhealth.gov.au/myhealth?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIppTTiOmR_gIVyVBgCh2uqgLGEAAYASADEgL3yfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds.
Those without a Medicare Card can also set it up as their vaccinations have to be registered on AIR also.
The season for 2024 will start third week of March 2024. If you missed out on arranging a clinic for your staff last year, start now to think and plan to arrange a flu vaccination clinic at your workplace for 2024 before it is too late. A nurse will come to your workplace with everything required to set up a clinic in a private office. Benefit to staff is that they do not have to take a half day off to travel to a surgery or pharmacy and wait around. Benefit to the workplace is it is a very cost effective way to reduce many days of absenteeism. You have peace of mind knowing your staff and their families are protected. See your boss and ask them to arrange a clinic at your workplace. We come to you, no need for you to take a day off work, sit down in a waiting room before you get your vaccination. We do everything for you, and you take no time off from work.
