PROOF OF VACCINATION
If you work in an industry that the NSW Government has made vaccination mandatory for (or you wish to take advantage of the freedoms that the NSW Government is rolling out to fully vaccinated citizens), you will be required to present proof of vaccination upon request.

If you have a Medicare card, you can access proof online through:

If you can’t access your proof of vaccination online, you can call the Australian Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809 (available between the hours of 8 am to 9 pm, Monday to Friday).
If you require an interpreter, you can call the Telephone Interpreter Service (TIS) on 131 450.
If you don’t have a Medicare card, you can access proof by:
