The Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) only accepts immunisation information from recognised vaccination providers in Australia. You must record all immunisation information in the AIR, to support patient safety and public health management.
Recognised vaccination providers can use the AIR to:
- check someone’s immunisation status
- get an immunisation history statement as proof of vaccination
- record patient immunisation information
- update or correct someone’s immunisation record
- record immunisation medical contraindications or natural immunity
- request reports to help identify patients due or overdue for vaccinations
- get information payments for the provision of certain vaccinations.
