The Federal Government said it was particularly crucial myGov and Medicare accounts were linked.
This follows the announcement the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) will be the record for all vaccinations for Australians.
This record will form the basis of the vaccination certificate all Australians will be able to use, including visa holders.
The AIR allows people to see their recorded immunisations - including COVID-19 vaccinations - through myGov or the Medicare Express Plus app via an “immunisation history statement”.
Residents are encouraged to link their myGov and Medicare online services to ensure they can quickly and easily access proof they have had a COVID-19 vaccination.
“This is something you can do right now to get your family vaccination-ready,” Federal Member for Nicholls Damian Drum said.
“It will be really helpful once you’ve had the vaccine and will mean you can easily access your vaccine certificate through the Australian Immunisation Register at the touch of a button.
“Do not forget, if you already have your Medicare account linked in myGov, make sure you check your contact details are up to date.”
Data from Services Australia indicates there are currently 19.7 million active myGov accounts, with 9.9 million linked to Medicare.
Almost 5.6 million immunisation history statements were securely accessed by individuals in the last financial year.
