Occupational vaccinations for Carina workers and students
Beyond childhood immunisations, we provide a full range of vaccinations for adults, with a focus on the occupational vaccines required for certain workplaces, along with seasonal flu vaccines, travel vaccinations and catch-up schedules for anyone who has missed doses over the years. Carina workers and students can book with us around 5 minutes from home and leave with the records their employer or placement needs.
Many jobs require proof of vaccination before you can start, including roles in healthcare, aged care, disability support, childcare and early education, and some trades. University and TAFE students heading into clinical placements often face the same requirements. Your GP will check your history against your employer’s list, arrange any blood tests needed to confirm immunity, such as for hepatitis B, and give the vaccines you’re missing. Where a course takes several doses, we’ll schedule them so you meet your start date wherever possible, and provide documentation for your workplace. Carina patients are only around five minutes away, so a flu shot or booster can be fitted around the weekly shop.
In short: Carindale Doctors is a mixed billing general practice inside Westfield Carindale, around 5 minutes from Carina. We provide occupational vaccines such as hepatitis B, flu, whooping cough and MMR, plus immunity testing and records for employers. Some vaccines carry a vaccine cost, and appointments are usually available within a few days.

Your local occupational vaccination team for Carina
Carina has a large population of older residents alongside young families moving into the area, and their vaccination needs are quite different. Grandparents helping with new babies need whooping cough boosters, older locals may be eligible for free flu, shingles and pneumococcal vaccines, and younger adults need travel and work vaccines. Having an occupational vaccination service just minutes from home, with one accurate record of every dose, makes it simple to stay protected.
Your GP or nurse will check your vaccination history, discuss what you need based on your occupation, and administer the vaccine on the day where appropriate.
If you are not sure what you are up to date with, we can check your immunisation history through the Australian Immunisation Register and advise on any catch-up doses needed. Learn more about our occupational vaccinations service.
Start dates and placement deadlines: occupational vaccination challenges in Carina
With many older residents and young families, the vaccination gaps we see in Carina tend to look like this:
- Tight start dates: some vaccines, such as hepatitis B, need several doses over months, so leaving it late can delay your start.
- Missing records: people often can't prove past vaccinations and need a history check or blood test.
- Unclear requirements: employers and placement providers have different lists, and it's easy to miss one.
- Annual flu requirements: many healthcare, aged care and childcare roles require a flu vaccine every year.
For occupational vaccines, bring any documentation from your employer specifying what is required, so your GP can check it against your history.
What your occupational vaccination appointment can include
Every occupational vaccination appointment is built around your workplace requirements. Depending on your role, your visit can include:
- Requirements review, checking your employer's or placement provider's list against your history.

- Immunity testing, blood tests to confirm protection, such as for hepatitis B or measles.
- Workplace vaccines, such as hepatitis B, flu, whooping cough and MMR, given on the day where appropriate.
- Dose scheduling, a plan for multi-dose courses that fits your start date.
- Documentation, records and statements to give your employer.
If you are travelling, keep a copy of your vaccination record with your travel documents in case it is needed.
- Booster doses scheduled if required for your vaccine type
- Travel health advice available alongside vaccinations
