The Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) is a whole of life, national immunisation register, which captures vaccines given to all people in Australia. It is mandatory for all immunisation providers to report all National Immunisation Program (NIP) vaccinations including influenza vaccinations, and COVID-19 vaccination they administered to the AIR.
Immunisation providers are encouraged to report other vaccines administered. This ensures individuals have a complete record of their vaccinations through their AIR immunisation history statement (external site), and can manage their health more effectively.
A fact sheet outlining mandatory reporting obligations and helpful tips is available on the Department of Health and Aged Care website (external site).
New immunisation providers can register on the AIR by completing the application to register form (external site) and emailing their signed copy to AIR.authorisation@health.wa.gov.au for WA Department of Health approval. Once approved by the WA Department of Health, the application is sent to Services Australia (external site), and a copy is sent to the applicant.
