If you’re fully vaccinated, eligible for Medicare and aged 14 or older, one way is to go through myGov.
Once you’re logged in, a link on the main page — proof of COVID-19 vaccination — will take you to another page with the heading “Immunisation History”, click “View History”, and then select “View COVID-19 Digital Certificate (pdf)”.
This can then be printed out. Or if you have a smartphone you can download the Express Plus Medicare app, which links to myGov and Medicare, and show your certificate on there.
The Service Victoria and Service NSW apps, which many people use to check-in with QR codes, can also link to myGov and show your vaccination status.
If you don’t have Medicare, you need an Individual Healthcare Identifier, available through myGov.
To do this, sign into myGov, select “Services” or “Link Your First Service” and then select “Individual Healthcare Identifiers service“.
If you can’t get proof online, your vaccination provider can print your immunisation history statement for you.
Or you can phone the Australian Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809 and ask for your immunisation history statement or COVID-19 digital certificate to be sent to you.
However, it may take up to 14 days for the statement or certificate to arrive in the post.
