Occupational vaccinations in Carindale, for your role.
Occupational vaccinations in Carindale help you meet the immunisation requirements of your job. We check your existing history, give any vaccines or catch-up doses you need and keep the process simple.
Occupational vaccinations for common roles
Many jobs come with vaccine requirements to protect workers and the people they care for. Healthcare workers typically need hepatitis B, measles, chickenpox, whooping cough and flu protection. Early childhood educators need whooping cough, measles and chickenpox cover. Aged care workers are encouraged to have flu vaccines each year, and plumbers and sewage workers may need hepatitis A.
At Carindale Doctors, we start by checking your existing records and, where needed, ordering blood tests to confirm immunity, so you don’t repeat vaccines unnecessarily. We then give any vaccines or catch-up doses you need and provide documentation for your employer or university placement.
In short: Carindale Doctors provides occupational vaccinations inside Westfield Carindale for healthcare, childcare, aged care, trade and other roles. We check your history and immunity, give required vaccines and complete employer forms. Medicare rebates apply to consultations where eligible, and concession card holders receive a discount.

Requirements made simple for Carindale workers
Workplace vaccine requirements can be confusing, especially when forms ask for proof of immunity rather than just vaccine dates. Our Carindale GPs work through your requirements with you and make sure your paperwork is complete.
See our vaccination clinic for other vaccines.
Occupational vaccine issues we help with
These are the issues workers bring to us most often:
- Missing records: no proof of childhood vaccines.
- Hepatitis B non-responders: needing further doses or testing.
- Tight deadlines: placements or start dates coming up fast.
- Multi-dose courses: planning vaccines that take months to complete.
Start early where possible, as some courses take up to six months.
