Registered nurses who work in South Western Sydney can receive free training to become an Authorised Nurse Immuniser in NSW.
Following on from the training offer in 2024, SWSPHN will continue to reimburse the full course costs for the now redesigned Health Education Services Australia (HESA)-accredited Immunisation Course for Health Professionals, which authorises nurses to administer vaccinations independent of a medical officer. The course is delivered by The Benchmarque Group.
Authorised Nurse Immuniser in NSW course – redesigned
Authorised Nurse Immuniser in NSW has a new, streamlined design. The hours of learning have been reduced from 120 to 70 hours. It includes two delivery methods – eLearning plus mandatory one-day workshop, or the new five-day in-person delivery model. Reimbursement is not available for the five-day intensive course.
