The Immunisation Certification Course is produced and conducted by the Health Department of Western Australia, with accreditation by the Royal College of Nursing Australia. This program concentrates specifically on the needs of nurse immunisation providers, with a focus in particular on the vaccines used in the National Immunisation Program. However, the broad based principles of this program can apply in any immunisation program setting.
Western Australian General Practice Network (WAGPN) administers this course, as a priority for those nurses working in general practice settings across Western Australia. Nurses working in other private health settings in WA can also do the course through WAGPN. Divisions of General Practice have an important role in support of nurses in general practice, particularly at their local level.
The course contains theoretical and clinical competency assessments over a defined study period.
