Australian Immunisation Schedule

Australian Immunisation Schedule 

A new immunisation schedule applying to children born after 1st May 2000 was introduced several years ago. The main change was the introduction of hepatitis B vaccination for infants. 

From November 1st 2005, this schedule has been further modified. The most recent changes include the inclusion of polio with the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis injection, universal pneumococcal vaccination and chickenpox vaccination at 18 months. Hepatitis A is also provided for all indigenous children.
St Agnes provides a full immunisation service, a doctor appointment is necessary on each occasion.


The schedule was updated on 1st July 2017 - Rotavirus injection is now only required at 2 months and 4 months of age.

The schedule was further updated on 1st January 2018 when Gardasil®9 was introduced for Year 8 students.

The schedule was further updated on 1st July 2018 when Meingococcal ACWY  vaccination was introduced at 12 month and the timings of some of the other vaccinations were changed.
