Australian Immunisation Register: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how this national database tracks your vaccination history to help meet school requirements and government payment criteria.
The Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) is a national database that keeps a secure record of all vaccinations received by people living in Australia.
Who it's for
This register is for everyone, including all children and adults.
What you get
You get an official record of your vaccination history. This record is often required as proof of immunization for school entry or to meet specific requirements for certain government payments.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to use this register. The information is updated by your healthcare provider, such as a GP, at the time you receive a vaccination.
The catch to know
It is important to ensure your doctor or healthcare provider uploads your records to the register immediately after your appointment. If the information is not updated promptly, you may face issues with "No Jab, No Pay" policies or other government requirements.
How to apply
- Visit your doctor or healthcare provider for your vaccinations.
- Confirm with your provider that they are uploading your details to the national register.
- Check your official immunization history statement through the government portal to ensure it is accurate.
- Use this statement when required by schools or for government administrative purposes.
