COVID-19 vaccination REVOKED for Healthcare workers Victoria!
COVID-19 vaccination REVOKED for Healthcare workers Victoria! Just putting it out there if it hasn’t been on the controlled media.
On 4 October 2024, Secretary Directions mandating COVID-19 vaccination for healthcare workers were revoked.
Victorian healthcare workers are now strongly recommended to remain up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations as per Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) advice and the Australian Immunisation Handbook.
The decision to revoke the COVID-19 vaccine Secretary Directions, and replace them with a strong recommendation to remain up to date, reflects the evolving COVID-19 epidemiologic situation in Victoria, emerging evidence on the burden of COVID-19 disease and advice and guidance from ATAGI on COVID-19 vaccination.
Should any health service determine that it is appropriate for their circumstances to introduce COVID-19 vaccination requirements through their own workplace policies, they should ensure that these requirements are informed by an assessment of risk, and meet consultation obligations with employees and applicable representatives under occupational health and safety legislation and any applicable industrial instrument/s.

Great at last the ‘authorities’ are admitting publicly that it is voluntary. We’ll still keep writing those notices of liability though to keep them knowing they are OUR servants and not the other way around and they will be held liable for any and all damage they may cause to us.
