Annual Immunisation Education Updates
2009 Immunisation Education/Workshops Calendars
Immunisation Update Calendar for Registered Nurses
Authorised Nurse Immunises are authorised to initiate (assess client’s suitability) immunisation of individuals and adimister vaccine in accordance with the National Health & Medical Research Council’s recommendations. These recommendations are set out in the Australian Immunisation Handbook 9th edition.
It is each Authorised Nurse Immuniser’s legal responsibility to ensure that he/she at all times meets the authority’s requirements. Attendance at one session in a calendar year, together with annual CPR certification, ensures your responsibilities under this authority are met.
NOTE: It is your responsibility to register for a session. All registration enquires and lodgement of registration forms 
(pdf) 60 Kb should be directed to your nearest Population Health office (ie Tamworth, Taree or Wallsend). You should be registered at least one calendar month prior to the session you wish to attend.
