You can access the AIR in different ways. If you haven’t already set this up, or you need to update your access, learn how to access the AIR.
If you want to register your organisation as a vaccination provider, 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. You’ll need to submit a separate application for each site.
You can call the AIR to update your:
- contact person
- phone number
- postal address.
If you’re a medical practice, you can also call to update applicant details.
You can tell us in writing to:
- update your practice or business address
- change your registration start date
- cancel your registration.
To update registered AIR vaccination provider details, contact the AIR.
AIR provider numbers are not transferable. You must apply for a new AIR provider number if a business changes ownership or business structure resulting in a new ABN.
You can add or update your existing bank details with us by completing an Australian Immunisation Register - bank account details for vaccination providers form and sending it to us.
If you have a Medicare provider number, you can update existing bank details recorded for AIR using Health Professional Online Services (HPOS).
We pay information payments to eligible vaccination providers by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) on the second last Tuesday of each month. To get an information payment you need to give us your bank details.
You can get a monthly immunisation payment statement on the AIR site using Health Professional Online Services (HPOS).

When you immunise someone you may be able to bill a Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) attendance item.
