As part of a review of the Public Health Act 2010, the provisions relating to immunisation in schools have been amended.
Principals must now request that parents provide an approved immunisation certificate that shows their child's immunisation status.
These changes have been made to strengthen immunisation enrolment requirements and to help manage disease outbreaks in schools and the community.
A copy of the Immunisation Certificate or a copy of the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) Immunisation History Statement or AIR Immunisation History Form, can be requested by parents/guardians:
- using their Medicare online account through your myGov account
- using the Medicare express Plus App
- calling the AIR General Enquires Line on 1800 653 809
We ask that our current Year 7 students provide a copy of their AIR Immunisation History Statement or AIR Immunisation History Form to Ms Corlija as soon as possible.
Please see the attachment provided to get a better understanding of our request.
If further information is required, please contact Ms Jaglika Corlija on 9349 3868 during school hours between 8:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday to Friday.
