Australian Immunisation Register (AIR)

Increasing immunisation coverage is a national priority for PHNs. We work closely with primary health care providers to maintain and increase immunisation coverage across our region.

The Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) is a national register that records vaccines given to all people in Australia. The AIR includes vaccines given under the National Immunisation Program, through school programs and privately, such as for influenza or travel.

You can use the AIR to:

Find out someone’s immunisation status, regardless of who immunised them
Print an immunisation history statement to prove their immunisation status for child care, school, employment or travel purposes

Recognised vaccination providers can:

Record patient immunisation information
Update or correct some data already sent to the AIR
Request reports to help identify any patients due or overdue for a vaccination
Report immunisation medical exemptions online— if you’re eligible to do this
Get information payments for the provision of certain vaccinations—if you’re eligible to do this

Health professionals can access the AIR through HPOS using a PRODA account. Please visit our training and education pages for access to learning resources.

The due and overdue rules will be applied each year for individuals eligible for a NIP funded influenza vaccine, including:
