At midday yesterday, the Chief Health Officer of the Northern Territory signed Orders to make COVID vaccinations mandatory for a range of workers to be able to attend their workplace.

Please note that on page 6 of the orders, it is stipulated under item 1-c that "workers who directly face customers or patients in health care or ancillary health care services" are included in this mandate.

If you are eligible and receive a medical exemption from being vaccinated, then you will still be able to attend your workplace without being vaccinated.

If you have any further questions regarding your specific circumstance, please contact the Northern Territory COVID business advice hotline on 1800 193 111.
