Getting Vaccinated
If you’re eligible for your COVID-19 vaccination, we encourage you to book in as soon as possible to help protect our community.
Some people have experienced mild side effects from the vaccine so please be mindful when booking your appointment around assessments and practical placements as they will need a medical certificate if they need an extension.
Domestic Students
Vaccine bookings are now available through the Curtin Medical Centre (Level 1, Building 109).
You can also book through VaccinateWA for Commonwealth Vaccination Clinics.
You will need to show your Medicare card and photo ID.
International Students
You don’t need to have Medicare to receive a free COVID-19 vaccination.

International students returning to Perth
Arrangements for the return of International students are the responsibility of the State Government.
Curtin and other Western Australian universities are working with StudyPerth and State and Federal agencies to develop a plan for the return of international students.
The Guild President is seeking clarification from Curtin about how discussions are progressing.
