Topic: Australian vax credentials?

Hey Friends, does anyone know the state of vax credentials in Australia?
From reading news articles, it sounds like the national immunization registry (AIR) is generating credentials (perhaps with some IBM software?). There's no documentation of this capability on AIR's public website (that I've found), let alone a technical explanation of how the credentials actually work (for example: are they SHCs? a proprietary format? WHO's spec?)

@JP Pollak may know about Australia. As a side note @Isaac Vetter, we are hearing pretty universally now the IBM solution isn't getting much traction in the market. WHO's spec also doesn't appear to be moving forward. SHC appears to be gaining the most traction across the globe thanks to your support and others so thank you! A group of us hope to get more jurisdictions on board next week at the AIRA conference by discussing the use of SHCs by multiple state and national verifiers.
