The Australian Childhood Immunisation Register is established to keep information about vaccinations of young individuals.

The purposes of the register relate to:

       (a)     supporting vaccination programs for young individuals; and

      (b)     vaccination matters more broadly.

Individuals can opt out from receiving certain information from the register. They can also request for their information in the register not to be disclosed for certain purposes.

Payments relating to vaccinations may be made on behalf of the Commonwealth.
