Vaccinations for every stage of life, close to Wishart
Beyond childhood immunisations, we provide a full range of vaccinations for adults, including seasonal flu vaccines, the travel vaccinations Wishart residents need before an overseas trip, occupational vaccines required for certain workplaces, and catch-up schedules for anyone who has missed doses over the years. Our clinic is around 10 minutes from Wishart, and most vaccines can be given on the day of your appointment.
Vaccination needs change throughout life, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s due. Older Wishart residents may be eligible for free flu, pneumococcal and shingles vaccines, parents-to-be are advised to have whooping cough and flu vaccines during pregnancy, and grandparents helping with a new baby often need a whooping cough booster. Our GPs and nurses check your history on the Australian Immunisation Register, explain what’s recommended for your age, health and plans, and give the vaccines you need in one visit wherever possible. Every dose is recorded, so your history is always up to date. Wishart patients can have their vaccination history checked and any missing doses given in one visit.
In short: Carindale Doctors is a mixed billing general practice inside Westfield Carindale, around 10 minutes from Wishart. We provide flu, travel, occupational, pregnancy and catch-up vaccines for all ages. Some vaccines are free for eligible people while others carry a vaccine cost, and appointments are usually available within a few days.

Your local vaccination clinic for Wishart
Wishart’s long-term households include teenagers needing school or catch-up vaccines, working adults who need travel or occupational vaccines, and older residents who may be eligible for free flu, shingles and pneumococcal vaccines. Grandparents helping with grandchildren also need whooping cough boosters. Having a vaccination clinic around 10 minutes away that keeps every family member’s record up to date makes staying protected simple.
Your GP or nurse will check your vaccination history, discuss what you need based on your age, travel plans or occupation, and administer the vaccine on the day where appropriate. For travel vaccines, it is best to book well ahead of your trip.
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 vaccination clinic.
Missed boosters and busy schedules: the vaccination gaps we see in Wishart
Across Wishart’s multi-generation households, the vaccination gaps we see tend to follow a pattern:
- Missed whooping cough boosters: adults around newborns, including grandparents, often haven't had a booster in years.
- Overlooked free vaccines: many people aged 65 and over don't realise they're eligible for free flu, pneumococcal or shingles vaccines.
- Last-minute travel bookings: some travel vaccines need weeks to work, so leaving it late can mean incomplete protection.
- Incomplete records: people who have moved or changed GPs often don't know which doses they've already had.
For occupational vaccines, bring any documentation from your employer specifying what is required, so your GP can check it against your history.
What your vaccination appointment can include
Every vaccination appointment starts with your history and what you need it for. Depending on your situation, your visit can include:
- History check, a review of your record on the Australian Immunisation Register.
- Personalised advice, what's recommended based on your age, health, pregnancy, travel or job.
- Vaccines on the day, administered by a GP or nurse where appropriate.
- Catch-up planning, a schedule for any doses you've missed.
- Short observation, a brief stay after some vaccines as a standard safety precaution.
- Record update, every dose recorded on the AIR and in your file.
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
- Records kept with your file and the national register
- Reminders can be set for your next due vaccination
Vaccinations are part of the preventative care we provide alongside chronic disease management and general health checks.
