Immunisation
Early Learning Services are required to check that children enrolled are up to date with the mandatory immunisations.
Families are required to provide a copy of their child’s Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) or your MyGov account, twice a year. Children will not be able to commence until this is provided.
Following enrolment, services must take reasonable steps twice yearly to review the Immunisation records and ensure children attending are up to date with the Immunisation schedule.
