Victorian Government - How to get your COVID-19 vaccine certificate

Here are the various ways you can download your vaccine certificate

Here is how to download your COVID-19 digital certificate to gain entry to a variety of businesses and services re-opening across Victoria.

Download your COVID-19 digital certificate

Download your COVID-19 digital certificate from myGov in three simple steps if you are fully vaccinated: 

1. Create a myGov account if you don't have one.
2. Link your myGov account to Medicare.
3. Download your COVID-19 digital certificate from your Medicare online account through myGov when you have had both doses of any COVID-19 vaccine.

To access your COVID-19 digital certificate, your myGov account must be linked to your Medicare online account.

You may need to wait for your digital certificate; it can take up to 10 days for your vaccination to be uploaded to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). You can even add your COVID-19 digital certificate to your smartphone wallet.
