Immunisations
Get your immunisation history statement
Use your Medicare online account through myGov to get your immunisation history statement.
If your child is under 14, you can get their statement in your Medicare online account through myGov.
If you haven’t linked Medicare to your myGov account, find out how to link Medicare.
If your child is 14 or older
You can’t access your child’s immunisation history statement without their consent if they’re 14 or older. They can get their own immunisation history statement through myGov.
You can get information about immunisation history statements for children who are 14 or older on the Services Australia website.
When to get immunised
Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way to protect you, your family and others in the community from serious diseases. Vaccinations are recommended at the following stages of life:
- before or during pregnancy
- as a baby (0-5 years of age)
- as a child (5-12 years of age)
- as a teenager (13-19 years of age)
- as an adult (20 years and over)
- when at higher risk
- when travelling.
You can find out what vaccinations are recommended by checking the National Immunisation Program schedule on the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing website.
