Important information for all residential aged care providers and workers

Published 14th September 2021

Action required

September 17 is the date for the commencement of the mandatory vaccination requirement for residential aged care workers.

The coming days are critical to ensure any workers not yet vaccinated receive their first dose, that providers update data quickly and accurately via My Aged Care, and that any authorised exemptions to vaccination, temporary or otherwise, are properly recorded.

For more information related to My Aged Care reporting, accessing vaccination if you're having difficulty or providing proof of an exemption please see the release here.
