Fees

Our Services

Appointments include a medical vaccine assessment and administration by an experienced immunisation nurse.

 

Medicare rebates apply with a valid referral

 

For non-Medicare patients:  A referral is recommended, but not required. We’ll provide an itemised receipt so you can claim a rebate from your private health insurer (rebates are often similar to Medicare, but please check with your insurer).
 

BCG Vaccination 

Includes assessment and vaccine.

Cost: $148 (Fee: $300 | Rebate: $152)
 

Travel Vaccinations

Assessment for vaccines like Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, or MMR*.
Cost: $48 + vaccine cost(s) (Fee: $200 | Rebate: $152)
When a family are seen together, only one family member pays the gap — others are bulk-billed with valid referrals.

Private / Additional Vaccinations

Administration of MMR*, Meningococcal B, ACWY, Varicella, and RSV (Nirsevimab*).
Fee: Bulk billed with referral (Vaccine costs may apply)
*No cost for eligible children


What is the deposit?

There is a non-refundable deposit of $50 for the appointment.  The deposit forms part of your fee and the balance is due on the day of the appointment. Date changes can be made up to 48hrs prior to the appointment. If your child is unwell within 48hrs of the appointment please contact us at hello@kidsdoc.au 

Siblings Bookings?

Additional siblings who need a BCG or other vaccines can attend the same appointment.  They need a separate referral.  ​The cost of BCG for a sibling is $50 and the appointment is bulk billed.

How can I pay?

We prefer credit card payment.  Please register your preferred payment method in our secure online portal or bring your payment card to the appointment.  Exact cash is accepted.  Medicare rebates will be submitted on the same day.  

What if I don't have Medicare?

We accept patients who do not have Medicare.  A receipt containing details of services and fees paid will be provided to you after your appointment for you to submit to your private insurance provider.  

What about other vaccines?

Our doctors are specialists in the routine scheduled vaccines and travel immunisations.  We will provide advice on safe and effective timing and dosage of vaccines according to age and destination.  

What vaccinations do you offer?

We will recommend vaccinations according to your child's age and destination. You can decide on what vaccine to proceed with at your discretion.  A letter with recommendations will also be provided to your referring doctor.  ​

Bookings and Referrals

Do I need a referral?

If you are eligible for Medicare and wish to receive a Medicare rebate, you’ll need a valid referral from your GP or specialist.

 

Its always best to obtain a referral from your own GP.  There are also providers that typically bulk bill a referral letter to a specialist that you can use to get a referral to us such as Abby Health and Call My Doctor.

If you are not covered by Medicare, a referral is not required, but it is still recommended to provide medical context for your visit.​  We will provide a receipt for you to claim from your private health insurance provider.
 
We accept referrals that are generic or addressed to other doctors or providers, and there is no need to update the referral.

If you are obtaining a new referral, please address it to:

Dr Shidan Tosif
Kids Travel Doc
Suite 1.2, Level 1
48 Flemington Rd
Parkville VIC 3052​
