Vaccinate to stay protected
For nearly 30 years, Ozcare has provided immunisation services to Queensland workplaces and schools.
Ozcare’s experienced, professional nurse immunisers host on-site immunisation clinics at workplaces and schools to protect employees, students, and businesses against a range of illnesses and the latest flu strains.
Vaccinations can be delivered individually or packaged together and delivered at one clinic.

Vaccinations
Influenza or ‘the flu’ is a highly contagious disease that can be spread through coughing, sneezing and close proximity. It is caused by a virus and is a serious illness especially in vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with a chronic disease. Annual vaccination is the most effective way to prevent getting the flu.
Keep your employees and students healthy by immunising them annually against the latest flu strains.
New flu vaccines are made available in March each year, and we offer clinics from March onwards. Vaccination is most effective in the months leading up to winter; March to June. We service most regions in Queensland, from the Gold Coast to Brisbane and Far North Queensland.
Our immunisation nurses conduct the programs with minimal disruption to your school or business with in-house clinics.
Why it’s so important to protect against flu:
- Flu strains change every year, so annual immunisation is necessary
- The flu is highly contagious,s and one sneeze can spread the flu up to a metre
- It’s more serious than a cold and can take weeks to recover
- Companies that don’t vaccinate face increased absences and decreased productivity
- Fit and healthy people are also at risk

How to prepare for your clinic
Ozcare will provide you with a unique Vitavo link to forward to your employees to create individual personal account consent. Vitavo is a simple secure digital system, which enables employees to register and complete electronic consent with ease while allowing you oversight of clinics date and times and attendance record. No personal information is disclosed.
You can find Vitavo’s data collection notice and privacy policy here.
3-6 weeks before
Inform your staff about the scheduled clinics and provide them with your unique Vitavo link.
Arrange an appropriate room for the clinic.
1-2 weeks before
Send your staff a reminder email about completing their self‑registration through Vitavo, and advise them that a 15‑minute monitoring period is required after vaccination to observe for any reactions. You can find a template email here.
3 days before
Confirm the final numbers with your Ozcare representative by email or phone, and make sure parking is organised for the nurse immuniser.
On the day
Set up the room with two chairs, a table and a screen. A private area, or access to one, is required in case participants are wearing clothing that can’t be rolled up.
Confirm the parking arrangements with the nurse, if this has not been communicated prior.
Frequently asked questions
Advice from Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) is that there is no required timeframe to wait between the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines and other vaccines. This means if you have a COVID-19 vaccine planned for a similar time to your Influenza Vaccine they can be co-administered (given on the same day).
YES. The flu is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease. It is not the same as the common cold and has the potential to take up to a number of weeks to recover.
NO. The flu vaccine cannot give you the flu as it is not a live vaccine.
YES. Being fit and healthy does not prevent you from catching the flu.
The Queensland Government is providing free influenza vaccinations to Queensland residents to boost immunisation rates.
