“The COVID-19 digital certificate makes proof of vaccination accessible anytime, anywhere,” Minister for Government Services, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC
The Minister said (June 9th, 2021) that the new record makes 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,” Minister 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.
“Once your provider has reported both doses of an approved vaccine, you’ll be able to access your COVID-19 digital certificate online through myGov or in the Express Plus Medicare app.
“I’m encouraging all Australians to ensure you’ve linked your Medicare account to myGov.
“Linking Medicare to myGov is simple, and more than 10 million Australians have already completed this process, securing the health and safety of all Australians, and Medicare’s trusted systems are making this happen.
“We’re guaranteeing everyone in Australia can get free COVID-19 vaccinations and making sure you can easily show proof of your immunisation,” Minister Reynolds said.
“It’s all about making government services simpler for all Australians, and this new immunisation certificate is a great example.”
