Have Your Say: New Public Immunisation Dashboards

Overview

We are seeking your feedback to help design new public immunisation dashboards that make data from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) easier to find, understand and use. Your feedback will help shape the design and content of the dashboards to ensure they are useful, clear and meet the needs of different users.

The dashboards are being developed as part of the Immunisation Data Modernisation Project, led by the Health Security and Immunisation Division. The project aims to improve how immunisation data is accessed, reported and used across Australia.

All information published through the dashboards will comply with the Australian Immunisation Register Act 2015 and privacy requirements. Data will be aggregated and will not identify individuals.

What is the Australian Immunisation Register?

The Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) is a national register that records vaccines given to people of all ages in Australia, including:

• COVID‑19 vaccines
• Vaccines under the National Immunisation Program (NIP)
• Privately administered vaccines, such as influenza or travel vaccines

AIR data supports vaccination coverage monitoring, public health planning and accurate immunisation records for individuals and health professionals.

Why we are creating new dashboards

There is increasing demand for timely, accurate and easy‑to‑access immunisation information. To meet this need, we are modernising how immunisation data is shared with the public.

Our vision: Immunisation data is valuable, insightful, easy to access, timely and secure.

The new public immunisation dashboards will help bring this vision to life by making Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) data:

• More timely and easier to understand – clear visualisations and plain‑language explanations
• More consistent and transparent – data presented in a standard, reliable way
• More useful for decision‑making – supporting communities, health professionals and policymakers
• More accessible to the public – expanding what is openly available and improving how it can be explored

The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. Responses are due by COB 31 March 2026.
