Flu Vaccinations

Flu Vaccinations

As part of Bethanie’s commitment to keeping everyone safe, all staff and volunteers are required to have their  annual flu vaccination  by 31 May 2026.  This simple step helps protect you, our residents, clients, colleagues, and their families. 

COVID-19 vaccinations will also be available at on-site clinics for those who wish to take advantage of the opportunity.  It’s safe to receive both the flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time.  Unlike the  flu vaccination , the COVID-19 vaccination is optional. 

Together, we can reduce the risks of illness in our community. Thank you for making a difference. 

Proof of mandatory flu vaccination is due by 31 May 2026.

You can do this in one of two ways, at no cost to you:

    Book a free flu vaccination
  2. Book an appointment at an on-site clinic at a Bethanie location. You will need to supply employee ID and also show your Medicare card details
