Workplace Immunisation Programs
This has been achieved by utilising streamlined methods including a user-friendly online booking system and the utilisation of multiple nurses and administrative facilitators in parallel clinics. We also handle all paperwork, enquiries and bookings to ensure an effortless experience for our client.
Influenza Vaccination Program
Health Watch Australia (HWA) is an AGPAL-accredited organisation which has been providing premium on-site vaccination programs for over 20 years. HWA has extensive expertise in the provision of premium, on-site, Influenza Vaccination Programs and prides itself on the delivery of unique, state-of-the-art practices and protocols with specific points of difference.

Vaccine Management
Our policies for handling and transporting vaccines are based on the ‘Strive for 5’ cold chain protocols and are reviewed regularly to ensure ongoing compliance with best practice standards.
Once on-site, we endeavour to minimise staff disruption but regard safety as our highest priority. We ensure appropriate pre-vaccination screening and post-vaccination observation, a no-touch, aseptic administration technique, mandatory carriage of emergency anaphylaxis management kits and 24-hour, 7-day, post-vaccination medical response overseen by our Chief Medical Officer.
