RSV Vaccine
 
From 3rd Feb 2025, eligible pregnant women will be able to receive the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine for free under the National Immunisation Program (NIP). 

The RSV vaccine is recommended for women at 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy and it protects their newborn from RSV. 

RSV is a serious disease for newborn babies and it infects their nose, throat, and lungs. It is a leading cause of children going to hospital. Getting a vaccine in pregnancy reduces the risk of severe RSV disease in infants less than 6 months of age by about 70%. 

 

Infant immunisation

There will be a RSV vaccination available for infants whose mothers did not receive the RSV vaccine during pregnancy.  The program will run from 1 April to 30 September 2025.

Under the new program, a free long-acting RSV monoclonal antibody, Beyfortus™ (nirsevimab), will be offered to eligible infants and young children. 

Eligible infants are

Infants born from 1 October 2024 – 31 March 2025:

  • (Up to 8 months of age only) to mothers who did not receive maternal RSV vaccine during pregnancy, or where maternal RSV vaccine was administered 2 weeks before birth, or
  • with risk conditions for severe RSV disease (Australian Immunisation Handbook) regardless of maternal vaccination.
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders infants born after the 1st October 2023

MyMedicare

It is free and voluntary and open if you have a valid Medicare card or DVA card.

MyMedicare is a new federal government initiative for strengthening the relationship between patients, their general practice, doctors, and primary healthcare teams.

Patients register for MyMedicare and select their general practice and nominate a regular doctor as part of the process.

Your MyMedicare registration will let the practice and your doctor know that you see us as your regular clinical team for your healthcare needs.

How to Register:

Patients have been able to register for MyMedicare from 1st October 2023. You can register by simply logging into your Medicare online services – Medicare Online Account or via the Express Plus Medicare mobile app.

Patients who register with a DVA Card will not be able to register online. A hard copy registration form is available from our reception team for you to complete.

For patients who are unable to complete the registration process online, please see our friendly reception team and they will be able to assist you with the registration process by completing a hard copy form.

Although registration for MyMedicare is voluntary, we encourage you to register with your regular practice and GP to formalise your patient-doctor relationship. This will allow your GP to strengthen the relationship with you and allow you more access to health services including extended telehealth visits and chronic disease management, allowing your GP to provide you with holistic and care with continuity.
