As the North Coast opens up for business and travel to our region resumes, many venues will be asking to see people’s proof of COVID-19 double vaccination or medical exemption when checking in.
This applies to those aged 16 and older. A vaccination certificate can be accessed through an individual’s myGov account or by ordering it from the Australian Immunisation Register.
Healthy North Coast has emphasised this week that people – not their GP – are responsible for accessing their own vaccination record and having it available if proof is needed.
Vaccination certificates can be downloaded or printed via myGov and stored on a smartphone, tablet or state check-in app.
A paper certificate can also be ordered from the Australian Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809 (8 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday ). It may take up to two weeks to arrive.
