Online Training Modules

The Approved Training requirements in the Administration of Vaccines by Pharmacists SASA have been updated to allow approved pharmacist immunisers (have successfully completed an approved immunisation course) to complete self-directed learning to acquire competency relating to the vaccines being administered, including referencing the Australian Immunisation Handbook. The Department of Health will determine and advise pharmacists if additional formal training is required for individual vaccines.

As per WA Department of Health advice, pharmacist immunisers must complete the “2025 RSV Infant and Maternal Immunisation Program”  training module before vaccinating pregnant patients with the RSV vaccine (Abrysvo). The training module can be accessed via Rise education.

As per the COVID-19 vaccination SASA, approved pharmacist immunisers must complete COVID-19 vaccination training before they can administer COVID-19 vaccines.

SA Health provide a COVID-19 Immunisation Training course which is recognised and approved under the SASA.

Optional immunisation online training modules are available for completion in the GuildEd learning platform for pharmacists who prefer structured training.

It is important to note that GuildEd has changed and pharmacists are required to join the Australasian College of Pharmacy (ACP) to continue accessing GuildEd.
