Dear Parents/Guardians,
If your child is in Year 7 or Year 10 this year, you can now provide online consent for their routine school vaccinations.
In Year 7, students are offered free vaccines for diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (dTpa) and human papillomavirus (HPV). In Year 10, students are offered the meningococcal ACWY vaccine.
Vaccination will only be provided at school if consent has been received.
How to provide consent:
- To complete online consent for your child's school vaccinations, visit: https://nswhealth.service-now.com/school
- Click the login with the 'Service NSW Account' button and log in using your Service NSW details. This is the same account you may already use to renew your driver's license. If you don't have a Service NSW account, refer to Service NSW to create one.
- Update or confirm your details in Service NSW as required.
- Complete the School Vaccination Consent Form for your child/ren. You will need to:
- enter your child's details
- provide the Medicare card details for you and your child
- read the linked Parent Information Sheet and privacy statement
- provide consent.
If you or your child do not have a Medicare card, consent can still be provided by requesting a paper-based consent form directly from your child's school. For more information on routine school vaccinations, please visit www.health.nsw.gov.au/schoolvaccination.
