Meanwhile, the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for use among Australian children aged 12 to 15.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt confirmed the Therapeutic Goods Administration ruling on Friday.
The next step is for the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation to give its approval.
If ATAGI gives the green light, children with impaired immune systems or underlying medical conditions will be immediately added to the rollout and able to access Pfizer.
"The US is doing this for 12 to 15-year-olds and they are providing the world with very, very important safety data," Mr Hunt said.
Pfizer is already approved for people 16 and over.
