Immunisation history statement

Your immunisation history statement has all your vaccines that have been recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). The statement also shows:

  • when your next vaccines are due

  • if any vaccines are overdue

  • if you are part of an immunisation trial.

You can get your child’s statement if they are younger than 14 years. This helps you to:

  • keep track of the vaccines they had up until they are 14 years old

  • prove your child has had what they need to access child care or school

  • see if any vaccines are overdue

  • check if your child has an immunisation medical exemption recorded

  • check that your child meets immunisation requirements for Family Tax Benefit Part A and child care fee assistance.

If you think a vaccine is missing from your statement, speak to your immunisation provider.
