Please be advised prices of vaccines may change.

Pathology tests are bulk-billed through Sullivan Nicolaides, and for international students through TTH Pathology.

Consults are bulk-billed at JCU Health for all JCU students with a Medicare card. International students are rebate fee only.

Please inform Reception that your immunisations are for your Professional Experience Placements so the necessary paperwork is ready for your first appointment. 

Overseas placements

Vaccine requirements for overseas placements will depend on the country and your other travel requirements.

You will require a TRAVEL CONSULT with a GP as there may be additional vaccines required. We recommend you make the appointment at least three (3) months prior to departure to ensure you will be fully vaccinated.

Travel consults at JCU Health are NOT bulk-billed ($130 with $71.70 Medicare Rebate). Additional appointments for further vaccines will be bulk-billed for JCU students.
