Vaccination Exemption for Australia

Medical Exemption from Covid-19 Vaccination.

Providing proof that you cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons when coming to Australia.

If you are coming to Australia and have a medical contraindication recorded in the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) you can show an Australian COVID-19 digital certificate to airline staff.

If you do not have your medical contraindication recorded in the AIR you will need to show airline staff a medical certificate that indicates you are unable to be vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine because of a medical condition.

The medical certificate must be in English and include the following information:

• your name (this must match your travel identification documents)
• date of medical consultation and details of your medical practitioner
• details that clearly outline that you have a medical condition which means you cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccination (vaccination is contraindicated).

Note: This certificate may be checked on arrival in Australia to ensure it is valid. Fake certificates will cause an entry refusal, and a ban on future entry.

Australia does not recognise a previous infection with COVID-19 as a medical contraindication for COVID-19 vaccination exemptions.
