The Victorian government has made it compulsory for all healthcare workers to have a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine to continue working onsite.
This includes staff working in residential aged care, disability services, home care services and all office-based staff.
When is my deadline?
If you are eligible for a third dose on or before Wednesday, 12 January you have until Saturday 12 February to get this vital third dose.
Workers not yet eligible for a third dose will be required to get it within three months and two weeks of the deadline to receive their second mandatory dose. This means:
Residential aged care workers must receive their third dose by 1 March.
Disability day centre workers must receive their third dose by 12 March.
Home care workers and office staff must receive their third dose by 29 March.
Already had your booster dose?
Please let us know, as mecwacare is required by law to record proof of vaccination.
Complete this jotform to provide a copy of your certificate, or please send it to your site office.
