Update to AIR vaccination provider form

Two new provider types, Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) and Authorised Nurses Immunisers (ANIs) have been added to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) and can apply for an AIR Provider Number. This AIR update provides information and advice on possible scenarios.

The advice is that a nurse in general practice is not required to get an AIR provider number and therefore an ABN is not needed.

If someone is working as a contractor and needs an ABN they can apply directly to the ABR and there is no fee to get an ABN.

Q In what settings should an ANI apply for an AIR provider number?

A In NSW a Registered Nurse/Midwife who holds the relevant qualifications for administering immunisations independently, has an ABN and who:

  • plans on administering vaccines independently, or
  • administers vaccines at a location that does not already have or is unable to register for an AIR provider number
