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. Once registered you will be able to apply for relevant immunisation programs on their behalf.
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 may need to provide consent at the vaccine appointment. 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.
Do I need to create a Vaccinate WA account to register my dependant(s)?
Yes, you will need to create an account with VaccinateWA (external site) to register and book on behalf of your dependants.

How many dependants can I register under my account?
There is no limit to the number of dependants that you can register under your account.
I would like my dependant to log in to and manage their own account. Is this possible?
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 (such as a spouse) should create their own account.
If you would like them to receive communications from the system in place of you, you can update their email and phone contacts. Please note that in this instance you will no longer receive correspondence.
If your dependant is a child, their account can be unlinked from yours when they turn 16. To do this, please contact VaccinateWA@health.wa.gov.au.
I would like to transfer the guardianship of a dependant to another person. Is this possible?
Yes, please email VaccinateWA@health.wa.gov.au.
I would like SMS and email reminders to be sent to my dependant instead of myself, is this possible?
Yes, please email VaccinateWA@health.wa.gov.au.
