Check your Medicare details and online access

If you have a Medicare card, check your details are up to date:

• through your Medicare online account via myGov
• in the Express Plus Medicare app
• by calling Services Australia.

If you need to, update your details.

If you have a Medicare account but don't have online access, you can set up your account via myGov.

If you don't have a Medicare account

If you are eligible for Medicare but don't have an account, you can enrol in Medicare.

You can still get a vaccine if you aren't eligible for Medicare.

For carers, family members and guardians

Guardians, family members and carers who need to make a vaccination decision on someone's behalf can download a Consent form for COVID-19 vaccination.

If you are anxious or have questions

You can:

• talk to your vaccine provider about any questions or concerns you have
• have a friend or relative go with you to your appointment
• ask for somewhere quiet to sit 
• ask for support and reassurance when you receive your vaccination, if you are afraid of needles
• book in to talk to your GP.
