19 November 2021

As many of you may be aware, the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination (Specified Facilities) Direction (No 12) expired at 11:59pm last night. This was replaced by COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination (Specified Facilities) Direction (No 13).

This new Direction is due to expire on 15 December 2021 (the same date as the Victorian State of Emergency).

There has been no changes in this updated Direction. The Direction still only applies to people who are Allied Health or AHPRA registered (Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine) or anyone who works in an Allied Health or AHPRA registered owned/operated facility.

We understand the DHHS website has conflicting information, however, as the Directions are the legally enforceable documents we are only concerned with what is written and defined within them.
