VaxWorks Health Services is thrilled to support the continuation of the free influenza vaccination program rolled out by the Queensland Government in 2025. This initiative is vital for the health of Queenslanders and will also help with reducing the pressure on the state’s healthcare system, including emergency departments and GPs.
From 1 March to 30 September 2025, Queensland residents aged six months and older will be eligible to receive a free flu vaccine. As a company dedicated to promoting health and wellbeing in workplaces, VaxWorks is excited to be part of this effort, helping businesses and their employees stay safe and healthy during flu season.
Each year in Australia, influenza results in 18,000 hospitalisations, over 300,000 GP consultations and costs the Australian health care system at least $85 million.
The flu also costs businesses an estimated 1.5 million workdays lost each year.
Workplace flu vaccination clinics remain one of the most effective ways to ensure your staff is protected against seasonal illness each year, reducing the impact of the flu on your business.
What does this mean for your business?
This initiative will enable Queensland businesses to have onsite flu vaccination clinics for their staff at minimal-to-no cost. The cost of the vaccines is covered by the Queensland Government. We charge a small clinic management fee for our time in setting up the clinic with you, but that fee may be waived depending on the number of vaccinations to be delivered.

Working together for a healthier Queensland
Minister for Health and Ambulance Services, Tim Nicholls, has made it clear that the Crisafulli Government is focused on reducing the burden on Queensland’s healthcare system. By expanding access to free flu vaccinations, the government aims to reduce avoidable hospitalisations and keep Queenslanders healthy throughout flu season.
How VaxWorks can help
VaxWorks Health Services is here to support Queensland businesses throughout the flu season with our onsite workplace flu vaccination services. At VaxWorks Health Services, we take pride in being an Australian family-owned and operated business that perfectly balances capability and care. We’re big enough to deliver exceptional results for businesses of all sizes, yet small enough to genuinely value and prioritise every client we serve.
Offering flu vaccinations in the workplace helps increase employee participation, particularly in those industries where flu season can lead to high absenteeism. With the ongoing availability of free flu vaccines, VaxWorks is committed to making it as easy as possible for employees to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their colleagues from the flu.
We provide convenient, tailored flu vaccination programs designed to make it easy for employees to get vaccinated without leaving the workplace. By partnering with us, your company can play a role in helping reduce the burden on healthcare services, while promoting a healthier, more productive workforce.
