Council Funded Immunisations

Immunisation is a simple and effective way to protect your child from serious diseases. The Queensland Government wants to make this process as easy as possible. Council is supporting them by offering free childhood immunisations for residents.

You don’t need to make an appointment to have your child immunised. You can walk in to the Channon Street Medical centre any time Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 12.30pm, or 2.00pm and 4.30pm.

Channon Street Medical centre is outside Drakes Supermarket at 12 Reef Street in Gympie. For more information, you can contact the medical centre on 5482 1555.
