SA is unique in Australia with the State Government, through the SA Immunisation Coordination Unit, funding the positions of local Immunisation Coordinators in every Division in South Australia. This allows for intensive work at practice level to keep immunisation rates high, to maximise incentives for practices and provide education to GPs, practice nurses and practice staff, to provide clinical advice and to support practices to achieve optimal cold chain management. The Australian Government General Practice Immunisation Incentive funding (at this stage guaranteed to June 2007) contributes to these positions and the work undertaken, and funds SADI's Immunisation Coordinator.
SADI convenes the quarterly state-wide meetings of all local Immunisation Coordinators. This includes professional development with topics including Q Fever, Meningococcal C program, legal issues and hard-to-reach groups and is developed in close collaboration with SAICU.
