Letter for parents/guardians without acceptable immunisation documentation

[Insert date]

Dear [insert name]

Re: Enrolment at [service name] for

I am contacting you regarding your tentative place for [insert child’s name] at [service name] in the [insert Three-Year-Old or Four-Year-Old program] in [insert year].

Under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 early childhood education and care services cannot enrol a child unless the parent/guardian has provided AIR Immunisation History Statement.

AIR Immunisation History Statement includes evidence that your child:

  • is fully vaccinated for their age; or
  • has been assessed by our service as being eligible for a 16-week grace period.

As we have not received acceptable immunisation documentation for [insert name of child] by the due date, and your child is not eligible for the 16-week grace period, we are unable to confirm a place at our service for and your child’s name has been removed from our list.

Immunisation programs are effective in reducing the risk of vaccine preventable diseases. Immunisation from an early age helps protect your child against serious childhood infections. Further information about immunisations for your child is available from:

  • your doctor
  • Moyne Shire Council immunisation service
  • National Immunisation Information Line Tel. 1800 671 811
  • Australian Immunisation Register: https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/services/medicare/australian-immunisation-register
  • Better Health Channel website: https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/no-jab-no-play

Should you wish to re-apply for a place for [insert child’s name], we are happy to accept a new enrolment application accompanied by AIR Immunisation History Statement. The new application would be considered in line with [service name]’s Enrolment and Orientation Policy.

Yours sincerely
