Hi Sue
Our processes are highlighted below,1. Does anyone ever accept statutory declarations as evidence of immunisation? Influenza only.
2. For Category A Healthcare Workers (HCW) direct patient care / potential contact with blood and body fluids
a. Do you require serology as well as vaccination evidence for Measles? Either
b. Do you require evidence of Hepatitis B vaccination course or is documented positive surface antibodies post course sufficient?
c. Do you require serology for Chickenpox VZV or do you accept history of disease as evidence enough? Either. If unsure of history or only evidence of one vaccination we do serology.
d. Do you require evidence of pertussis vaccination for all staff or just staff in some clinical areas ( please specific areas )?
3. For Category B HCW Non direct patient contact / e.g. ward clerks, food services, social work etc.
a. Do you require serology as well as vaccination evidence for Measles? Either
b. Do you require serology for Chickenpox VZV or do you accept history of disease as evidence enough? Either. If unsure of history or only evidence of one vaccination we do serology.

4. For Category C HCW

5. Do you conduct TB screening for all staff or just subgroups? If subgroups which ones- We do a Risk Assessment for all staff which may lead onto a Quantiferon Gold Assay test especially for staff who are from a high burden TB area or worked in high risk areas. The QFG test is requested prior to employment if required.

Hi Michael
The application to register as a vaccination provider is available @ https://www.humanservices.gov.au/organisations/health-professionals/forms/im004
You will need to complete the application & send to your State/Territory Health Department for approval.
I’m happy to provide more information if required direct to your email
At this stage we encounter all staff immunisations except Influenza.

Thank you for your cooperation.Can I ask those facilities who load staff vaccinations into the Australian Immunization Register (AIR), how did you set this up? Did you require a vaccination provider number? Or did you report to another body to submit this data to the AIR?
We are a private hospital, and would like to send information on staff vaccinations given to the AIR, but are not sure how to do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
