What is the National HPV Vaccination Program Register (HPV Register)?

The National Health Amendment Act 2007 (National HPV Vaccination Program Register) was passed through parliament in 2007 to allow the establishment and maintenance of a National HPV Vaccination Program Register (the HPV Register), to support the National HPV Vaccination Program.

Because the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register only accepts vaccination data for children aged up to 7 years, the HPV Register is being developed as a separate entity by the Victorian Cytology Service (VCS).

Information about HPV vaccination doses can only be notified to the HPV Register. The HPV Register does not record HPV test results.
