Getting access to CIAP

Access to CIAP knowledge resources (Harrison's, MIMS, full text journals, online books, etc) is password-protected and each public health facility in NSW has its own user name and password. To obtain the CIAP user name and password for your health facility, you can go to the HealthTechnology Intranet site for a list of passwords (only available from within a NSW Health facility) or you can contact your local CIAP representative (see the following links).

Health Profession Students

CIAP is available to all staff employed within the NSW public health system. If you are a health profession student on clinical placement in any public health facility within NSW, you are authorised to access CIAP during that placement only. You can access CIAP via ward computers or the hospital or Area library while at work. Contact a local/Area CIAP representative at the facility you are undertaking your placement in.

If you are a health profession student and you are also employed by the NSW public health system (e.g. as an Assistant in Nursing), you are entitled to CIAP access. If you are unsure if you are an authorised CIAP student user, please contact your local/Area CIAP representative.

For further details, contact the CIAP help desk on 1800 824 279.

** Note that CIAP is not licensed for general undergraduate student access **
