There are vaccination mandates in place for support workers in the disability, aged care and health care sectors.
The timeframe to be eligible for a third COVID vaccination dose in all states and territories has been reduced to 3 months. COVID booster vaccinations are now available for anyone aged 16 and older who completed their primary course of COVID-19 vaccination three or more months ago.
