Immunisation requirements for all new enrolments
As part of a review of the Public Health Act 2010, the provisions relating to immunisation in schools have been amended for students enrolling in a NSW Governement school for the first time.
From 1 April 2018 secondary schools must request that parents provide an approved immunisation certificate that shows their child's immunisation status at enrolment.
This change has been made to collect accurate information about children's immunisation status and to help manage disease outbreaks at school and in the community.
A copy of your child's immunisation history can be requested by parents or guardians:
- using their Medicare online account through the MyGov website
- using the Medicare Express Plus App
- calling the Australian Immunisation Register general enquiries line on 1800 653 809
You can find more information regarding these changes at the NSW Health website.
