We apologise for missing this information relating to vaccination of Health Care and Support Workers in the Australian Capital Territory.

The current Direction which is in place until the end of the State of Emergency states:

"A worker for a health care facility must not work at the premises of a health care facility for work in the Australian Capital Territory..."

For ANTA members

Health care facility means:

a. a hospital, including a day hospital; or
b. a hospice; or
c. all health care facilities operated by Canberra Health Services.

If you work in a hospital, day hospital, hospice or health care facility operated by Canberra Health Services, you are required to have at least 1 dose of the COVID-19 Vaccination between 29 October and 1 December 2021. From 1 December, you will need to have had the second dose to continue to attend the health care facility, unless evidence of an exemption can be provided (please read the Directions for this information).
