Vaccination is free for everyone in Australia, even if you're not a citizen. But you'll need to get your paperwork in order before booking your booster:
Australia’s vaccination program is on a roll, with more than 90 per cent of the population aged 16 or over double vaccinated and more than 1.3 million booster shots already administered.
Vaccination in Australia is free for everyone, even if you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident. This includes people without a Medicare card, overseas visitors, international students, migrant workers and asylum seekers. “We saw a lot of patients that came in for their first and second shots who weren’t necessarily Australian citizens and didn’t have a Medicare card. So most pharmacists are used to helping those patients through the process.”Fully vaccinated Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible visa holders can now travel to Australia without needing to apply for a travel exemption.
