The only thing I can find with a date says in March.

But that was posted on 4 Feb. everything still couched in terms of vaccine arrival and TGA approval.

In other news, the state Health Department is looking for a Director of Communications. $250-360k. Big bucks to sort this mess out.

Is the Director of Communications to organise vaccinations or simply communicate the details of the programme to the public?

This is where I had assumed they would be - I can access all my current vaccination records with dates via MyGov. I think it’s quite neat - no needing to remember 😉

As long as you are not a conspiracy theorist. 😁Someone I know says they don't want their personal information to be available. I don't mind. If I have to have emergency medical treatment, I prefer that the hospital (or wherever) can access my information.

I like the idea of having all my health information in one place, my only problem is government websites have had a pretty bad history of being successfully hacked😳. It would be better if they would invest in better cyber security.

Agree with you, I have no problem with my medical information on MyGov.

If anyone has ever tried to get an Australian Govt department to do something for them they will know that their info is going to be pretty safe.

And I don’t have anything to hide (or of any interest) anyway.  😂

But seriously, what would a hacker do with any of our information, particularly medical??
 

Don’t think it’s the average John Citizens information that hackers want 🙄

We should have got the  national identity card but the radical irriots rejected it.

 

Some people have things to hide, I do not.

The joke is (IMO), that various radicals objected to a national identity card because it would take away our civil liberties. But I have noticed that, for several years now, my full name and D.O.B. are used as a virtual ID card.

It’s what I like about this forum - we all have such different opinions. 😆
