From 21 August 2023, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioner immunisers will be able to administer certain vaccines under a written instruction and supervision of a medical practitioner, nurse practitioner or authorised midwife. 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioner immunisers will be able to administer Japanese encephalitis, Mpox (monkeypox) and COVID-19 vaccinations upon completion of recognised immuniser study programs. 

More details, including information on recognised immuniser study programs, can be found on the Victorian Department of Health website.
