Expansion of the National Immunisation Program Vaccinations in Pharmacy (NIPVIP) Program to include vaccinations in residential aged care and disability homes

From Monday, 29 April 2024, the National Immunisation Program Vaccinations in Pharmacy (NIPVIP) Program will expand, allowing pharmacies to claim payment for administering National Immunisation Program (NIP) vaccines in residential aged care and disability homes. The vaccines able to be administered are subject to state or territory requirements and legislation. Additionally, NIPVIP payments will be indexed starting 1 July 2024.

The Program Rules are being updated to reflect these changes.
