If you work for a medical practice, pharmacy, or organisation, or you’re an Authorised Nurse Immuniser with your own Australian Business Number (ABN), you can access the AIR.
To set up access, you need an organisation PRODA account linked to HPOS, and members require an individual PRODA account. Once set up, you can manage who accesses the AIR using PRODA.
You need to complete the following 4 steps to access the AIR.
Step 1. Apply to become a vaccination provider
If your organisation doesn’t have a provider number, complete and submit the Australian Immunisation Register - Application to register as a vaccination provider form.
You’ll need to select one provider type to register. You can read more about provider types who can register as a vaccination provider.
If your organisation has multiple locations, you need:
- a separate AIR provider number for each site that provides vaccination services
- to submit a separate application for each site.
Step 2. Register an organisation PRODA account
To register for a PRODA organisation account:
- the organisation needs an active Australian Business Number (ABN)
- you must be listed as an associate or authorised contact on the Australian Business Register (ABR)
- you need to have an individual PRODA account.
Step 3. Link your organisation PRODA account to the AIR
When we approve your application to become a vaccination provider we’ll give you:
- an AIR provider number
- an AIR linking code.
You need to enter these numbers when adding the AIR to your organisation PRODA account.
When you add the AIR to your organisation PRODA account, you need to verify your organisation relationship. We can help verify your relationship if the system can’t do this.
Step 4. Add members to your organisation PRODA account
You can add your staff as members to your organisation in PRODA. To do this, each staff member needs to:
- have an individual PRODA account
- give you their registration authority (RA) number so you can add them.
You need to allocate HPOS as an attribute when setting up member access to the AIR.
Once you’ve added each member and the HPOS attribute has been provided, they can access the AIR on behalf of your organisation.
If the system can’t verify your relationship, you’ll receive a notification.
To request assistance verifying your relationship in PRODA:
- Select Assistance required.
- Enter your AIR provider number, your organisation details and the problem being encountered in the comment box.
- Select Next.
We’ll review your request for assistance and will contact you using your PRODA contact details.
