Under the ‘No Jab, No Play’ legislation, before enrolling a child, early childhood services must first obtain evidence that the child is up to date with all vaccinations that are due for their age, or that they are able to receive.
On 28 February 2018, the NO JAB, NO PLAY legislation was amended so that an Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) is the only form of documentation accepted for the purpose of enrolling in an early childhood education and care service.
