Immunisation
The Division's Immunisation program aims to improve the quality of vaccination services provided by general practices, with the overall goal of improving immunisation rates Australia wide. A large focus of the program is the participation of general practitioners in the General Practice Immunisation (GPII) program with the outcome of improving overall immunisation coverage rates to >90% in children fully immunised under seven years of age.
The immunisation program is designed to assist GPs and their practice staff to develop and maintain a ‘best practice' immunisation service to their patients through clinical education, practice visits, resources and an advisory service.
The Division can provide help to both GPs and Practice Staff in the following areas:
-
Australian Standard Vaccination Schedule (ASVS)

National Immunisation Program (NIP)

Vaccine information and management (including temperature logging)
