The New South Wales (NSW) government will begin a two-week pilot of its vaccine passport feature in the existing Service NSW check-in app from Oct. 6.

Around 100 to 500 people in regional NSW will be chosen to trial the feature that will allow people to both check-in and show vaccination status simultaneously.
