As part of our Funding Agreement with the NSW Department of Education, we have an obligation to ensure that information regarding vaccinations, including the childhood vaccines of the NSW Immunisation Schedule, is made available to parents and carers.

A link to the NSW Department of Health website which includes information on all vaccinations including Childhood Vaccination is here: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/app/pages/default.aspx. On this page there is a link to the  “Save the Date to Vaccinate” Campaign where you can download an app to your smartphone to remind you, or you can print off your immunisation schedule.
