Immunisation History Statement Reminder

Have I provided the kindergarten teacher my child’s up-to-date Immunisation History Statement?

After EACH immunisation, you should provide an updated Immunisation History Statement to the teacher at your child’s service to include in their records. 

How do I get an Immunisation History Statement?

The quickest way to get your child’s statement is by using your Medicare online account through myGov or the Express Plus Medicare mobile app.

Alternatively, you can call the AIR on 1800 653 809 to request your child’s statement be posted to you. It can take 14 days to arrive by post.

What is the Immunisation History Statement used for?

To keep children safe. If there is a disease outbreak at the service, the document is used to identify children at risk (for example, children too young or those who can’t be fully immunised against a disease) who may need to stay away from the service until it is safe for them to return.

Receive reminders when your child’s immunisations are due by downloading smartphone apps to remind you when vaccines for your child are due.
