Reaccreditation ceased for Nurse Immunisers

This approval enables the Nurses Board of Victoria (NBV) to endorse Nurse Immunisers effective from the 1 January 2010. As a result of these changes initiated by the NBV, a Nurse Immuniser will no longer be required to reaccredit every three years. However it is the professional responsibility for all practicing nurses and midwives to maintain their competence in their chosen area of practice.

 For further information in relation to this matter, please contact either the NBV on telephone (03) 8635 1259 or the Immunisation Program on 1300 882 008.

NB. Nurse immunisers will no longer receive a personally posted copy of the immunisation newsletter as the Immunisation Program will not have access to a database of nurse immuniser names and addresses.
