Vaccination Information

How can I prove I’m double vaccinated?

You can prove you are double vaccinated through Services Australia:

• COVID-19 digital certificate
  
• Immunisation history statement

Where can I access my proof of vaccination?

You can access your proof of vaccination (COVID-19 digital certificate or immunisation history statement) using:

• Your Medicare online account through myGov
• The Express Plus Medicare mobile app, which also gives you the option of adding your digital certificate to an Apple Wallet or Google Pay.

Can I attend the course if I’ve only had one vaccine dose?

No. The NSW Government has announced that only people who have received both doses of the vaccine can attend a pub/club the Monday after NSW reaches the 70 per cent double-dose milestone. As we hold our classes in these venues these rules will apply.

How can I get proof in hard copy?

You can ask your vaccination provider to print your immunisation history statement. (may not be available with all providers)

You can also call the Australian Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809 and ask them to send your statement to you.
It can take up to 14 days to arrive in the post.

What if I can’t get vaccinated?

If you can’t get vaccinated you are welcome to complete our RSA online course or RCG virtual from the comfort of your own home.

How can I prove to the venue and or trainer that I’m double vaccinated?

You can show our staff proof of vaccination:

• Open your Express Plus Medicare mobile app, click “Immunisation history”
  and then click “View COVID-19 digital certificate”
• Access your COVID-19 digital certificate in your Apple Wallet or Google Pay
• Present a hard copy of your immunisation history statement
• Present a hard copy of a medical exemption in the approved form completed by a medical practitioner.

How will the venue/trainer know my proof of vaccine or medical exemption is authentic?

At our discretion, we may attempt to verify that your “proof of vaccine” is authentic. We remind you that it is an offence to falsify this information and fines will apply. Only Government issued vaccination verification documents can be accepted.

Where can I find more information?

Further information on accessing and proving your vaccination status can be found on the Services Australia website (click here) and the NSW Government website (click here).

If you’re not eligible for Medicare?

If you’re not eligible for Medicare, you need an Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) to get your proof online. You can get an IHI using the Individual Healthcare Identifiers service (IHI service) through myGov.First, you need to check if you already have an IHI. You have an IHI if any of the following apply:

• you have a Medicare card
• you have a DVA card
• you’re enrolled in Medicare.

If any of these do apply, you can get your proof using either your:

• Medicare online account through myGov
• Express Plus Medicare mobile app.

If you don’t have an IHI, you can use the IHI service through myGov to apply for one and link it. To do this, sign in to myGov then:

1. Select Services or Link your first service.
2. Select Individual Healthcare Identifiers service and then follow the prompts.

You don’t need an IHI to get the vaccines, you only need it to get proof of your vaccinations.
