Stay protected this flu season with Aurora Medical Centre
Influenza (the flu) is a highly contagious viral illness and remains one of the most common vaccine-preventable diseases in Australia. While symptoms may be mild for some, the flu can cause serious illness, hospitalisation, and even death — especially in vulnerable members of our community.
At Aurora Medical Centre, we are committed to keeping our community safe and healthy. We offer the 2025 quadrivalent influenza vaccine as part of our annual flu vaccination service.
Flu vaccination is your best defence against the virus. It lowers your risk of infection, helps protect people around you — especially those who are too young or too unwell to be vaccinated — and slows the spread of influenza in the community.
Since flu strains change each year, it’s important to get vaccinated annually to ensure you’re protected against the most up-to-date variants.
The Australian Government recommends that everyone aged 6 months and older receive a flu vaccine every year.
Cost of the Vaccination is $20 plus GST for people not eligible for a free flu vaccine.
Under the National Immunisation Program (NIP), free flu vaccines are available to eligible Medicare card holders, including:
Supplies of government-funded flu vaccines can be limited. We recommend speaking with our reception team to confirm your eligibility and the availability of free vaccines before making your appointment.
If you are not eligible for a free vaccine, or if free vaccines are not available at the time of your visit, our team will be happy to discuss private flu vaccination options with you.
