If there's a disease outbreak, children who are not immunised will be BARRED from attending childcare and education centres. 9News
From January 1, families will have to provide immunisation records for their children at pre-schools, kindergartens, early learning and day care centres.
"We are committed to protecting the health and wellbeing of young South Australians and we know immunisation is one of the most effective ways to do so," Health Minister Stephen Wade said."The heartbreak of seeing a child sick, or even worse, is magnified when you know it was potentially preventable, so we urge all parents of young children to make sure they get their kids immunised.
Centres also will be required by law to keep copies of each child's records while they are enrolled there. If there's a disease outbreak, children who are not immunised will be barred from attending childcare and education centres.
