Proof of vaccinations

Types of proof

There are 3 types of proof of vaccination you can get for you or your child:

• Complete immunisation history statement
• COVID-19 and influenza (flu) immunisation history statement
• International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate.
  

Using your proof

You can use your immunisation history statements to:

• keep track of you or your child’s vaccinations
• see if any vaccinations are due or overdue
• prove you or your child’s vaccinations are up to date for education, employment and travel purposes
• prove if your child is on an active catch-up schedule
• prove if you have an immunisation medical exemption recorded.

You can use your International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate to show proof of your COVID-19 vaccinations when you want to travel overseas. Find out more about the International Vaccination Certificate on the Services Australia website.

How to get proof

You can get proof of vaccinations for yourself, or your children under the age of 14, through myGov:

• If you’re enrolled in Medicare, you can use your Medicare online account.
• If you aren’t eligible for Medicare, use the Individual Healthcare Identifier service.

Learn more about how to get proof of vaccinations. If your child is aged 14 or older, they can view their own immunisation history statements using their Medicare online account through myGov.

Find out more about getting an immunisation history for children who are 14 or older on the Services Australia website.
