Contact a tuberculosis service

Tuberculosis (TB) services provide clinical diagnosis, management and public health follow-up of people with, or suspected of having, tuberculosis.

They provide free medical assessment, screening and BCG vaccination clinics.

Since 2012, there have been periodic interruptions to the supply of BCG in Australia.

Appointments are essential for all TB services throughout Queensland.
