ACU encourages you to participate in our annual flu vaccination program to help maintain your health and wellbeing, especially with the onset of colder weather and impending flu season. All staff, including casuals and sessional staff, are eligible to participate.
Flu vaccination is provided free for ACU staff.
Vaccinations will once again be available at ACU Medical Centres on the Melbourne, Brisbane and North Sydney campuses during May and June. Please contact your campus Medical Centre to arrange appointments at details below.
Staff at other campuses may wish to attend an on-campus appointment to receive a flu vaccination administered by a Vitality Works nurse during the nominated vaccination clinic times outlined below.

What are the benefits of flu vaccination?
The Southern Hemisphere seasonal influenza vaccine provides protection against the seasonal strains as recommended by the World Health Organisation. It also reduces the threat of contracting the flu and COVID-19, at the same time, which could ‘overwhelm’ the body. Please read Australian Department of Health guidance for more information.
If you are unsure about whether you should be vaccinated, please seek advice from your doctor first.
Attending your vaccination appointment
Please wear a mask and bring your Medicare card with you if you attend an ACU Medical Centre as your vaccination will be bulk billed. You will also need to complete a new patient form if it is your first visit to a centre.
