How should people who are vaccinated overseas apply for vaccination certificates in Australia at this stage?
To prove that vaccinated overseas, vaccinators must provide a verified and translated document to a recognized Australian vaccination provider (such as a general practice clinic).
These institutions can help applicants update their Australian immunization status.
The vaccinators then need to bind their updated vaccination status to the Services Victoria application for access to various business places including restaurants and tourist attractions.

It is particularly important to note that the last vaccination must be at least 7 days apart when entering the country, otherwise the traveler will not be considered a fully vaccinated person.
Children under the age of 12 who aim to travel are considered fully vaccinated; travelers with medical exemptions need to provide medical certificates.
In response to the complexity of overseas vaccination certification, Tom Manwaring, chairman of the Australian Federation of Travel Agency, said that the federal government is working hard to solve this problem.
