COVID-19 vaccinations rollout – Phase 1b

To find out when you are eligible to receive the vaccine, visit www.australia.gov.au and complete the COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility Checker online. This will tell you which phase you are in.

Phase 1b applies to older age groups (over 70 years), individuals with pre-existing illnesses that predispose them to more severe disease, and some higher risk occupational groups. Phases 2a and 2b apply to the rest of the adult population.

The eligibility checker will also help you to find a vaccination clinic near you if you are in Phase 1a or Phase 1b. If you are not in Phase 1a or Phase 1b, you’ll be able to register your interest to be notified when your phase starts.

A list of general practices, Aboriginal Controlled Community Health Services, and GP-led respiratory clinics where COVID-19 vaccinations will be available to people in phase 1b, is now available on the Department of Health website.

When you have received your COVID-19 vaccine it will be recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register. There are many ways you can access your immunisation record. We encourage you to read the how the COVID-19 vaccination roll-out affects you article on our website.
