Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common, highly contagious virus that infects the airways and lungs. It is spread through droplets when an infected person talks, coughs or sneezes.
RSV can be particularly serious for older people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults.
Vaccination is a safe and effective way to reduce the risk of severe illness caused by RSV.
The RSV vaccination is free, from 15 May 2026, under the National Immunisation Program for:
people aged 75 years and over, who hold or are eligible for a Medicare card
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 60 years and over.
Currently a single dose of RSV vaccine is recommended. Protection is expected to last for at least 3 years
Pregnant women are also eligible for a free RSV vaccine. A script can be written for people not eligible for the free vaccine. The cost is approximately $300. Book your appointment today

New national modelling has exposed the deadly toll of wood heater smoke in Australia, linking it to hundreds of premature deaths and widespread exposure to dangerous air pollution.

With fine particle emissions triggering asthma, heart attacks, strokes and even cancer, researchers say the health risks are far worse and more widespread than previously understood.

The Centre for Safe Air, University of Tasmania researchers calculated the health impact of wood heater emissions in Australia during 2015.

They estimated that 729 people die prematurely each year as a result of long-term exposure to wood heater smoke.

Wood heater smoke is a major source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a known trigger for asthma. While short-term exposure to PM2.5 tends to worsen existing conditions like asthma, long-term exposure can lead to reduced lung function, the development of asthma and/or faster progression of the disease.

New South Wales led the nation with the highest total wood heater emissions of PM2.5 particle pollution (12.3 million kg/year) and the highest number of estimated premature deaths from wood heater pollution (382/year). This equates to five people dying prematurely each year for every 100,000 people, making NSW the state with the heaviest burden on public health.
