I wonder if you went into the local police station, and had a sworn officer sign and stamp a stat dec saying the covid test results belong to the person in the passport and other identification presented. In ACT that would be an AFP officer.

Basically NSW health results are available via email - the only bit of information not in result certificate is passport number

Not sure what happens if passport number needs to be inserted - does it automatically generate a fee
