Covid-19 Advice
The COVID-19 test and vaccine are free for all visa-holders residing in Australia, including international students. Information about the vaccine rollout plan can be found on the Australian Government Department of Health Website in different languages. Confirm your eligibility then book your appointment at your preferred clinic or vaccination hub. If you are aged 18 years old and above, you can choose AstraZeneca, with recommendation from your GP.
You should not be paying any vaccination hub or GP. Please check your OSHC provider for consultations that have no gap fee to be fully covered by your health insurance. For Allianz members, you may find the nearest facility within your suburb here.
You do not need a Medicare card. Instead, you can apply for an immunisation history by getting an Individual Health Identifier. Once you’ve had your vaccine, monitor for side effects.
