Will I receive an incentive payment for notifying the Register?

The notification incentive payment provided by the Commonwealth Government, as an initiative to encourage GPs to submit their HPV vaccination data to the Register, ceased in June 2010 and is no longer available.
GPs are encouraged to continue to notify Gardasil doses to the HPV Register despite the cessation of notification payments.  The benefits of notifcation are:

  • Girls/women will receive a Completion Statement once all 3 vaccinations have been administered and notified to the Register
  • Girls within the schools program, with incomplete courses, may receive a History Statement to  remind them to complete the 3 dose course
  • The Register will provide on-line Overdue Dose reports to GPs and public immunisation providers who have registered for on-line access with the HPV Register
  • Providers are able to contact the Register's Telephone Information Service or view on-line the vaccination status of their patients
  • If in the future a booster dose is required, the HPV Register will contact consumers to provide appropriate advice
  • Participation in the HPV Register will assist in monitoring how the HPV Vaccination Program is working and measure the effect of the vaccine on cervical cancer
