The Menzies Institute for Medical Research will provide the immunisations, which will injected in devils on the East Coast this month.
Based on the success of the immunisation, injected devils are expected to be released into the wild in the next six months.
East Coast Natureworld has turned heads in recent weeks, after owner Simon Plowright announced residents would be given access to wild Tasmanian devils as part of a new tourism initiative.
The drawcard - which has been approved and promoted by the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program - is called Devils at Night and allows customers into a glass room inside the natural habitat of insurance population devils.
Mr Plowright - who has more than 30 years experience in dealing with wild devils - yesterday said the park's greatest focus was on conservation and biosecurity.
He said devil birth control and tumour immunisation will take priority for the group in 2015.
"The immunisation is a Tasmanian first," he said.
"What we do here is very much based on science. It's a scientific approach and it's taken very seriously.
"Birth control is a very important part of stabilising devils in the wild, in a responsible way as well. You can't have one particular line of devils breeding more than other lines. So birth control is a way of controlling the gene pool. It's vitally important."
Mr Plowright said the Devils at Night tourist attraction behind East Coast Natureworld's glass enclosure does not encroach on the animal's way of life.
"We're not allowed in with them, we view them from a viewing area behind glass. The devil's behaviour is very different in the wild - they're not used to people. So everything is tailored to ensure we are not disrupting their habitat."
