Australia's considering a nationwide ban on unvaccinated children from childcare centres.

LISTEN ABOVE: Rachel Smalley talks to Australian correspondent Donna Demaio about the vaccination debate. 

Three states already require children to be immunised, and Malcolm Turnbull wants 'no jab, no play' rules rolled out across the country.

Australian correspondent Donna Demaio told Rachel Smalley the Prime Minister isn't mincing his words.

"Five percent of children are still not vaccinated, and as Mr Turnball says, this is not a 'theoretical exercise', this is life and death."
