The Vulnerable Peoples Homebound Vaccination Program can be used to access Flu vaccination or COVID-19 vaccination at home, and is available until 30 June 2026. 

To be eligible for the program, the individual must: 

• be homebound or have a genuine need for an at-home vaccination; and, 
• be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination (see eligibility criteria); or, 
• meet the National Immunisation Program eligibility for a Flu vaccination (see eligibility criteria) 

Anyone can request a vaccination for an eligible individual using the referral form on SEMPHN’s website. Individuals can also complete the form to request vaccination for themselves. 

Once the referral has been received, a vaccination provider will contact the homebound person (or nominated contact) to assess eligibility, and, if eligibility is confirmed, will schedule a time for the in-reach home visit. 

Please note:

SEMPHN’s Vulnerable Peoples Homebound Vaccination Program will cease accepting referrals from 30 June 2026.

Eligible referrals received before 30 June 2026 will continue to be processed and serviced subject to program capacity and funding.

From 1 July 2026, if you or someone you care for needs support to access COVID-19 or influenza vaccination, please contact your trusted healthcare provider to discuss available options.

You can also use healthdirect Service Finder to find vaccination providers near you.
