Complex Catchups for Immunisation

Entrants to the Complex Catchups for Immunisation course must be registered with AHPRA.

The workshop is designed for experienced immunisers who have a strong understanding of catch-up principles and are ready to take their skills to the next level. The workshop is delivered at an advanced level and explores challenging, real-world scenarios that require critical thinking, problem-solving and careful application of immunisation guidelines.

The session consists of blended learning in a small interactive virtual classroom, which includes Immunisation catch-ups, sharing of knowledge information, and self-reflection activities. Students will review catch-up principles, navigate the Australian Immunisation Handbook and develop individualised catch-up plans for people with incomplete or uncertain vaccination histories, including recently arrived migrant and refugee families.

With expert trainer guidance, collaborative learning and opportunities to discuss challenging workplace scenarios, the workshop equips immunisers with the confidence to make informed clinical decisions, improve immunisation practices and help protect vulnerable communities from vaccine-preventable diseases.

By the end of this virtual workshop, you will have refreshed your knowledge on how to work through a more complex catch-up process and what needs to be considered.

You will practice working through one or more scenario’s using the Australian Immunisation Handbook Catch-Up Tables, and be provided with answers for questions you might have.
