Free or low cost student vaccinations
The flu vaccine helps protect against influenza, a highly contagious virus that spreads through coughs and sneezes. Vaccination each year helps reduce the risk of infection, severe illness and spreading the virus to others.
Flu vaccines are updated annually and are usually available from April, before the peak flu season in Australia.
What to know:
- The flu vaccine is recommended every year.
- It helps protect you and the wider community.
- The vaccine cannot give you the flu.
- It's low cost (max $20) or free for eligible students.

We’ve partnered with Bupa to offer free HPV vaccinations for international students under 25.
The HPV vaccine helps protect against the human papilloma virus, a common virus that spread through skin-to-skin sexual contact including vaginal, anal and oral sex. This virus can lead to cancers like cervical, throat and anal cancer, as well as genital warts. It works best before sexual contact and is recommended for all genders.

We’ve partnered with Bupa to offer free Meningococcal ACWY vaccinations for international students under 25.
The Meningococcal ACWY vaccine helps protect against a serious disease that can lead to meningitis or blood infection. It spreads through close contact like coughing, sneezing, kissing or sharing items. You can carry the bacteria without feeling sick and still pass it on. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and others.
