Immunisation is one of the most effective ways to protect individuals and communities from serious and preventable diseases. By receiving vaccines, people build immunity against infections that can cause severe illness, long-term health complications, or even death.

Beyond individual protection, immunisation helps to reduce the spread of diseases within communities, safeguarding those who may be more vulnerable, such as young children, elders, and people with weakened immune systems.

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, where health disparities exist, immunisation plays a critical role in improving overall wellbeing and supporting stronger, healthier futures.
