Encouraging your staff to get Vaccinated

On October 1 the Premier announced that all authorised workers in Melbourne and regional Victoria need to have their first vaccination by October 15 or be booked for first vaccination by October 26 and have second vaccination by November 26.
Note: Not all workers of an authorised business are authorised workers.

Employers are encouraged to support all staff in getting vaccinated.
You can reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on your business and your community by supporting the vaccine rollout and encouraging your employees get vaccinated.

These steps can help you communicate about COVID-19 vaccinations with employees.
