New guidelines on mandatory vaccinations

The Fair Work Ombudsman has issued new advice for employers considering making the vaccine mandatory for workers.

The Ombudsman has developed a four-tier system to govern when such orders would be reasonable.

The nature of the workplace, community transmission, the effectiveness of vaccines, and the circumstances will be considered.

This new ruling replaces the previous advice which stated most employers would not be able to compel staff to get the vaccine.
