Workplace flu vaccinations in East Melbourne.

Workplace flu vaccinations across Richmond, Cremorne and East Melbourne

East Melbourne’s east end is built around health. The Eye and Ear Hospital, St Vincent’s Private and a cluster of specialist practices give the area a workforce of clinicians, practice managers and consulting staff whose days run on tight rosters. We describe that precinct as local context only; the hospitals are not organisations we vaccinate. A clinic here has to fit between appointments rather than expect staff to clear their diary.

A short distance away, Richmond and Cremorne tell a different story. Over the past decade these streets have shifted from light-industrial buildings to a dense office tech precinct, and they now hold many of Melbourne’s best-known technology and creative employers. That gives the city’s east a mix of medical-precinct and tech-tenant workplaces rather than the finance concentration you find in the CBD, and hybrid working is common across those teams.

Further east, Hawthorn, Camberwell and Box Hill are long-established suburban commercial centres with their own steady base of office employers. A workplace flu program is one practical, recorded action toward an employer’s duty under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic) to provide, so far as is reasonably practicable, a working environment that is safe and without risks to health. It is one sensible step, not the whole duty.

How a workplace flu clinic runs in your East Melbourne office

It starts with a quote. You enter your staff numbers and site details on our online quote form, and we send a quote you can adjust and sign online. The form simply collects your details, and a member of our team prepares the proposal. Once it is signed, we set up your booking platform.

Staff book their own slots and receive automatic reminders, which keeps participation up without the wellbeing team chasing people. On clinic day, our nurse arrives 10 to 15 minutes before the first booking. We bring the vaccines, sharps disposal, adrenaline, and all consumables needed to run the flu vaccination program, so your team only needs to provide a quiet room.

Each nurse vaccinates around 30 to 32 people an hour, roughly two minutes per person, so a session moves quickly even in a busy practice or office. Every dose is recorded with the Australian Immunisation Register (opens in new tab). Online bookers receive a PDF vaccination certificate, and you receive a participation report by department, site or cost centre.

Flu vaccinations for Hawthorn, Camberwell, Box Hill and Melbourne’s eastern suburbs

The East Melbourne program covers East Melbourne, Richmond, Cremorne, Hawthorn, Kew, Camberwell, Box Hill and the eastern suburbs out to Ringwood under a single arrangement. Whether you run a specialist practice near the hospitals, a tech team in a converted Cremorne warehouse, or a suburban office in Camberwell, you deal with one program and one point of contact. Multi-site employers can run every location on the same booking platform.

The Australian flu season runs from April to October and peaks between June and September. Protection takes about two weeks to build, so late May is the date to plan back from if you want staff covered before the peak. Get in touch early through the contact us page so we can lock in clinic dates that suit your sites.
