You will need to make sure the email address you enter in this process is the same email address you provided 13 COVID when you registered.

I do not have a mobile phone, can I still register?

To complete your registration in VaccinateWA (external site) we require a contact number to be recorded. If you do not have a mobile phone number, we can accept a landline instead.

What if I don’t have a permanent residential address?

Where possible, please provide a residential address as it is a mandatory field that is required to complete your registration. If you do not have a permanent residential address, please contact 13COVID (13 268 43) who will be able to assist you.

Why do I need I need to indicate that I’m a WA Health staff member?

WA Health staff may require specific vaccinations for their role.

WA Health Staff include employees of WA Health service providers (including students and volunteers) and people engaged under a contract for services by a health service provider.

What if I have had my first vaccination dose in another state or country? Do I need to still register to receive a second dose, third dose or booster?

Yes, we would still like you to register and provide the details of where you previously received the COVID-19 vaccine. After completing the ‘My consent’ step in the registration process, you will be able to record previously received doses in your COVID-19 Community Immunisation Program dashboard, by clicking on the ‘Received elsewhere? Record it here’ link. You will be asked to provide details including the vaccine brand and the date you received the dose. You will then be able to book your next dose.

Please note, any externally administered doses that are recorded in VaccinateWA will not be sent to the Australian Immunisation Register.

I have logged into VaccinateWA and there are additional questions from the last time I provided my details. Do I need to complete them?

You are not required to complete any additional fields as your details were saved from your previous session.

If I do not know the answer to one of the questions, can I save my registration and come back to VaccinateWA at a later time?

Once you have set up your account you can log back in at any time using the email address and password you set up on registration. All details you have entered will be saved and you can continue the registration process.

Can I attend a clinic for a vaccination without registering first?

Yes. You can receive a COVID-19 vaccination without an appointment at State-run community vaccination clinics. Find your nearest COVID-19 vaccination State-run community clinic.

You are strongly encouraged to make a booking to secure a convenient time. People with a booking will be prioritised to receive a vaccine at the time of their booking.

Some State-run metropolitan clinics may even turn away walk-ins to manage wait times and location capacity.

People can also make a booking at participating GPs, pharmacies, respiratory GP clinics or Aboriginal Medical Services by visiting the COVID-19 vaccine clinic finder (external site).

Registering for a child or dependant

Can I register on behalf of my child/dependant?

Yes you can register dependants under your VaccinateWA account. Log in to your VaccinateWA (external site) account and click on the ‘Add or manage dependants’ button on your VaccinateWA landing page. Alternatively, you can click on the ‘Add or manage dependants’ link within the green profile icon in the top right-hand corner of the page.

You will then see the option to register a dependant. Follow the steps in the registration process. If eligible, you will then be able to make a booking for your dependant. Children under the age of 16 will not be able to register themselves and will need to be added as a dependant to an existing account of a parent/legal guardian.

A ‘dependant’ includes anyone who relies on a parent or legal guardian for support, for example, someone with an intellectual disability. The parent/legal guardian will need to provide consent at the vaccine appointment. Further information on consent from dependants is provided in the COVID-19 vaccine FAQs. Dependants will not be able to log in to VaccinateWA themselves – the parent/legal guardian will need to log in and manage the dependant’s account and bookings on their behalf. Anyone who is not a dependant should create their own account.

If you need help, please call 13 COVID (13 268 43) and the team can assist you.
