Her candidate profile says that after losing her son to meningococcal B she "fought for free access to a vaccine, including presenting a petition to the Australian Parliament."

Her Change.org petition calling for the vaccine to be funded is marked "Victory" with 41,044 supporters.

In the Assembly on 9 December 2025, Liberal Brad Battin asked the Health Minister whether the government would commit to funding the vaccine; the Minister replied that she had asked the chief health officer to review the need for a localised program.

The Liberals and Nationals announced on 8 December 2025 a pledge to fund the vaccine for infants aged 6 weeks to 12 months and for Year 10, with catch-up programs for ages 12 months to two and 15 to 19.

On 11 May 2026 the Labor Government announced the vaccine would be free for Year 10 students from 1 January 2027, with more than $9 million to deliver it.

The ABC reported the Health Minister said the program was funded only for Year 10 and other funding avenues were being explored, and that the government would not confirm it would continue beyond 2027.
