The ACT Government made changes in 2020 to permit Registered Nurses and Midwives that have successfully completed a training course that meets the National Immunisation Education Framework for Health Professionals (December 2017) (National Education Framework) to administer certain vaccines without a prescription or standing order. These changes apply to Registered Nurses and Midwives. Enrolled nurses are not included under this legislation.  To help you understand the changes, CHN has produced:
