Services Australia has introduced a digital certificate for the recipients of both COVID-19 shots to use as proof of their vaccination.
Minister for Government Services, Senator Linda Reynolds said the new record made it simple and easy for people to show their COVID-19 vaccination status.
“The COVID-19 digital certificate makes proof of vaccination accessible anytime, anywhere,” Senator Reynolds said.
“We’re also giving people control over the level of vaccination history they share, as the certificate only shows your COVID-19 vaccination status.”
She said the COVID-19 digital certificate could be accessed online through the myGov website or via the Express Plus Medicare app.
Senator Reynolds encouraged all Australians to ensure their Medicare accounts were linked to myGov.
“Linking Medicare to myGov is simple, and more than 10 million Australians have already completed this process,” she said.
She said the process was all about making Government services simpler for all Australians “and this new immunisation certificate is a great example of that”.
The public is encouraged to use Services Australia’s interactive tool for more information about how to access proof of COVID-19 vaccines.
