What You'll Learn
Accessing your vaccination history via My Health Record
To access your vaccination history via My Health Record, you will need to create a myGov account if you do not already have one. You will also need to ensure that your Medicare details are linked to your myGov account.
Once you have set up your myGov account and linked it to Medicare, you can log in to myGov and select 'Proof of Vaccinations' or 'Individual Health Identifiers service'. Then, select 'View Proof' and 'View History'. Follow the prompts to download a PDF copy of your immunisation history statement to your device. You may also have the option to add the proof to your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet if you are using a mobile phone or tablet.
Your immunisation history statement will show all the immunisations you have had that are on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). This includes COVID-19 vaccinations. However, it is important to note that the AIR was only established in 1996 for childhood vaccinations, so it may be incomplete for many adults.
If you cannot access your vaccination history online, you can call the Australian Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809 and ask them to send you a copy by post. This can take up to 14 days. Alternatively, you can contact your vaccination provider, who may be able to print an immunisation history statement for you.

Proving vaccination status in-person
If you need to prove your vaccination status in person, there are several options available to you. The first is to use a digital certificate, which can be accessed through a myGov account. This can be downloaded to your mobile device or printed out. If you have received a COVID-19 vaccine, your digital certificate will show your vaccination status. You can also add this to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
Alternatively, you can use an immunisation history statement, which can be accessed through My Health Record or Individual Healthcare Identifier service, both via myGov. This will list all your recorded vaccinations, including COVID-19 vaccinations, on the Australian Immunisation Register. You can also call the Australian Immunisation Register and ask them to send you a copy of your immunisation history statement, which can take up to 14 days to arrive. Your vaccination provider can also print this statement for you.
If you have been vaccinated abroad, you may experience problems having your status recorded on the register. The Australian government only recognises certain vaccines, such as Pfizer and AstraZeneca. Other vaccines, like Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, will not be accepted.
For students, proof of vaccination status can be provided by completing the COVID-19 Vaccination Status Collection webform, which requires documentation such as a digital vaccination certificate, immunisation history statement, or an international COVID-19 vaccination certificate.
