    Hi everyone,

    are we required to register with Centrelink?

    Centrelink (Services Australia) handles transactions for social services like medicare, pensions, and tax benefits. As first step for new PRs, application/registration to Medicare is required. As to the other services, you can apply for them as needed and if you qualify... usually after a waiting period.

    If you're in NSW you can use vaccination record card to list your immunisations and if asked attach proofs as provided by the clinic that gave you the vaccine. Copy of the NSW Immunisation Card can be downloaded here.

    Am not sure if it's still the same process but way back in 2019, when we went to Centrelink to apply for Medicare, after submitting our application and attachments, we were provided with a piece of paper indicating our Medicare number for use if needed until such time that the Medicare card arrives by post. So basically, that same day we were already covered by Medicare.

    Hi to all healthcare workers,

    Were you required to submit/convert your ph covid immunisation records to an australian register?

    Your GP can enter those details for you.

    Thanks! Is that the only way? Do you reckon I just wait for my medicare?

    It’s already a month and a half kasi since I applied for medicare. And correct me if I’m wrong pero some companies esp. government require covid immunisation records?

    If you're in NSW you can use vaccination record card to list your immunisations and if asked attach proofs as provided by the clinic that gave you the vaccine. Copy of the NSW Immunisation Card can be downloaded here.

    Am not sure if it's still the same process but way back in 2019, when we went to Centrelink to apply for Medicare, after submitting our application and attachments, we were provided with a piece of paper indicating our Medicare number for use if needed until such time that the Medicare card arrives by post. So basically, that same day we were already covered by Medicare.

    Ngaun gusto nila by online mag apply. Nagtry kaming pumunta sa centrelink sabi sa online nlng magpasa. Not sure kung sa iba pwde. Pero dito bandang blacktown gusto nila online.

    Agree Maam @ga2au ayaw nga nila ng hard copy application sa online din ako pinagsubmit. Blacktown area din. Dumating na TFN ko kanina medicare card nalang talaga kulang haha.

    Kelan kaya tayu magkikita haha. Nasa westpoint ako ng Friday hahha
