View your immunisation history statements:

To view your Immunisation History Statement you can either:

• go to myGov and sign in to your Medicare online account. If you do not have a myGov account, you can create one and then link it to your Medicare account; or
• use the Express Plus Medicare mobile app. To download the app go to Australian Government Human Services: Express Plus mobile apps.

If you are unable to access the Immunisation History Statement online, you can get a copy by calling the Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809.

Viewing statements for children 14+ years:

If your child is 14 years or over, you cannot view their immunisation history statement in your account. Your child must create their own Medicare online account through myGov to view their immunisation history statement or contact the Australian Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809

If you would like to get a copy of your immunisation history prior to 2016, our Environmental Health team will need your name (maiden name if married) and date of birth. We also need contact details such as phone number and email address if you want your history emailed.

We only have the immunisation history from Council run immunisation sessions, so if vaccinations occurred at a doctor’s clinic or at a different Council, you will need to speak with them.
