Consent for School Vaccination

Consent for each vaccine must be provided by parents/guardians for students to receive free vaccinations at school.

In 2025, parents/guardians can provide consent online for their child’s routine school vaccinations on the NSW School Vaccination Program Portal. Select login with Service NSW Account. To provide online consent you will need:

Your Service NSW log-in details Note: If you do not have a Service NSW account, please click How to create a MyServiceNSW Account | Service NSW to register.
Medicare card details for you and your child.

Read a step-by-step guide on how to provide consent online. Translated guides are available in Arabic, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese.

If you or your child do not have a Medicare card, consent can still be provided by requesting a paper-based consent form – available on request from your child’s school.

Parents can withdraw consent at any time before vaccination takes place:

where consent has been given online, please log-in to the secure NSW Health portal and follow the prompts to withdraw consent, or
where consent has been given on the physical consent form, please write to or call the school to advise the student's name, school grade and those vaccines the withdrawn consent applies to.

If you would like your child to receive vaccination, please ensure that you have provided consent at least one week prior to the date of vaccination.

The benefits of providing consent online:

easily update your child’s details
receive SMS and/or email notifications when vaccinations are given
faster upload of vaccination records to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).
