COVID-19 Primary Care Onboarding changes

As of 2 January 2025, Primary Health Networks (PHNs) will no longer onboard primary care sites to the National COVID-19 Vaccination Program (NCVP). The COVID-19 Primary Care Onboarding process has moved from the Vaccine Access Section to the Vaccine Operations Centre (VOC) within the National Immunisation Division. Primary care sites wishing to participate in the program will now need to contact the VOC directly. Learn more about the next steps following this change and becoming a COVID-19 vaccine provider.
