Childhood Internet Immunisation Records
In July 2008, the Department of Health and launched childhood immunisation internet site. This site contains immunisation histories for children in the NT under 15 years of age, although records for children over 12 years of age may not be complete.
This is the information that is currently obtained from the Immunisation Help Desk. The Immunisation Help Desk will still function as normal but the internet site will allow immunisation providers to access immunisation histories for children after hours and on weekends.
Only immunisation providers can access this information, the general public will not have access to this site. Immunisation providers will need to complete a registration form and obtain a username and password to access this secure site.
To gain access to the site, complete this registration form and return via facsimile to 08 8922 8897. Once your registration form is received, it will be processed and you will be notified by email of the web address for the site along with your username and password.
The information on the site is extracted from Community Care Information System (CCIS), which is the Territory's repository for Immunisation data. This occurs on a weekly basis and the Immunisation Record that is displayed on the site informs the user of the date that the information was extracted from CCIS.
