Aged Care Mandatory Vaccinations

Members are reminded that (in accordance with the public health order) they will need to provide evidence to their employers that they have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by no later than September 16, 2021.

You can obtain a copy of your COVID vaccination status by clicking here.

If you have been unable to obtain a vaccination by September 16, you may need to provide proof of an organised appointment or seek a temporary exemption (pending the vaccination) from your GP.

If you are not vaccinated by that date, the employer may not allow you on to the Aged Care site. If you are asked to attend a meeting to discuss your employment options, please contact the ANMF immediately so we can provide advice on your rights and entitlements prior to the meeting.

Updates correct as at 15 September 2021.
