Any Brits travelled into Australia as tourists very recently?

Posting for traffic.

My in laws have finally got the green light to travel into fortress Western Australia for our long postponed wedding. Hooray!

All the red tape is sorted but the only thing I’m struggling to find info on is how British tourists show/prove their vaccination status at the very long list of places that require you to show them your vaccination status in order to enter. For example you literally need to prove you’re vaccinated to buy alcohol a liquor store here. Not to mention all the cafes, bars etc.

I’m just trying to avoid a lengthy phone call to whatever government office has the answer and I’m hoping someone has already had the experience. Is it as lo-fi as printing off their UK certificate and showing it with their passport or is it linked in their G2G pass?

My in laws are very tech challenged and have had all this stuff sorted for them by a travel agent and forgot to ask.

Thank you!

They can ask for a covid pass I believe, I have one on the NHS app on my smart phone so was just going to use that but if they are technologically challenged that might be tricky! If they ask their GP that might help? Don't suppose you know about the 2 day test thing there? We are meant to be coming to aus and it says need a lateral flow within 2 days of arrival, I have lateral flows but I wasn't sure if it needed to be an 'official' one booked somewhere or if I could just use an NHS one, and if I need to report my results anywhere?! Sorry for asking but the info online is a bit vague!

The RATs as we call them here (rapid antigen tests) are pretty readily available at all the chemists. I’ve not had any trouble sourcing them anyway. I’m not sure about using one from the UK sorry and I’m not sure how they’re reported or performed, like if you just do it and self report it. I suspect with the border coming down, this will probably be the case because the volume of people coming in will be so high. That’s just a guess though.
