What we deliver for Werribee
We run resident and staff vaccination programs for residential aged-care facilities across Melbourne's western suburbs. Our programs are built around the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards (in force 1 July 2025) — particularly Standard 4 (clinical care) and Standard 5 (organisation's service environment).
Each engagement includes the documentation an ACQSC assessor will ask for: signed informed-consent forms, batch numbers, cold-chain logs, anaphylaxis-management records, AIR confirmation receipts, and a post-clinic summary. The compliance pack is emailed to the facility manager within five business days.
Most facilities run annual residential influenza in March–May plus the staff mandate clinic separately. We can also deliver pneumococcal, COVID-19 boosters, and shingles where eligible.
What's included
Why local matters for Werribee
Aged-care vaccination programs typically run over 1–3 days per facility. Being local means a smaller team commuting, no overnight surcharges, and the ability to add ad-hoc top-up sessions for residents in isolation, new admissions, or staff who missed the main day. We can be on-site within 48 hours for an outbreak response.
Getting to the clinic from Werribee
Train. Werribee Station to Sunshine requires a change at Footscray — about 35–40 minutes total. The drive is more direct.
Bus. No direct bus to Sunshine; local routes connect to Werribee Station.
By car. Drive via Princes Freeway, Western Ring Road and Western Highway — about 28 minutes off-peak.
How to book
Annual residential flu: book by January for March–May delivery. Staff mandate clinic: 2–3 weeks notice. Outbreak-response and admission vaccinations: 48 hours where possible.
Common questions
Do you handle consent for residents who lack capacity?+
Yes. We work with the facility to identify each resident's nominated decision-maker (typically family enduring-power-of-attorney) and obtain consent through whichever channel the facility uses — paper, electronic, or verbal-via-phone with a witness countersignature. All consents are retained for the legally-required period.
What does the ACQSC compliance pack include?+
Per-resident: signed consent, vaccine + batch given, anatomical site, time of dose, observation outcome, AIR submission timestamp. Per-clinic: cold-chain log from prep to disposal, anaphylaxis kit contents check, immuniser AHPRA registration evidence. Delivered as a single PDF to the facility manager.
Can you cover an outbreak?+
Yes — call us first thing in the morning and we can usually have a team on-site that afternoon for staff testing, vaccination top-ups, or a post-exposure response. Outbreak surcharges apply but we don't mark up the dose cost.
Do residents need to be NIP-eligible to be vaccinated?+
Most residential aged-care residents are NIP-eligible for flu, COVID-19, pneumococcal and shingles. We confirm eligibility per resident before the clinic. Non-NIP doses (e.g. private flu top-ups) can be invoiced to the facility or the resident — your choice.
