"It's really upsetting about what's happening, as it's a really high financial penalty," she said.
Mrs Bohackyj feels vaccinations do children more harm than good after sifting through research material herself, but her biggest gripe is the government not allowing parents to make a rightful objection.
"I [believe] vaccinations made my son sick, and only when I stopped getting him vaccinated is when he got better. It should be a choice you're allowed to make, I don't want these choices made by someone else."
Danijela Daljac, from Figtree, is another opposed to vaccination after becoming so sick she suffered bouts of paralysis.
"My neurologist said I would end up in a wheelchair," she said.
"I did vaccinate my kids a long time ago and my parents did the same, but if I knew then what I know now, I would never have done so.
"We are systematically poisoned with everyday hygiene products, cleaning products, water, food, etc - it will be too late when everyone realises what is going on," Mrs Daljac said.
