About this task
For some Centrelink payments and services such as Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A or child care fee assistance, children must be fully immunised. Similarly, adults may require catch up vaccinations because of their health, age, lifestyle, or occupation.
Catch up vaccination aims to provide optimal protection against disease as quickly as possible by completing a person’s recommended vaccination schedule in the shortest but most effective time frame. For more information, see Australian Immunisation Handbook.
