Are you a student on placement, or applying for an Australian visa, and need your vaccinations up to date? Health Nexus Launceston provides the vaccinations, blood tests and immunisation records that most universities, colleges and placement providers require, and the vaccinations some visa subclasses ask for.
Please note: Health Nexus does not perform Department of Home Affairs visa medical examinations. The health examination required for many visa applications can only be done by Bupa Medical Visa Services, booked through your ImmiAccount or at bupamvs.com.au. If your visa application asks for a “visa medical”, book with Bupa; if it asks for vaccinations, a blood test or an immunisation history statement, we can help.
