Good morning Sarah,
This link will take you to the Federal Governments website, where the information is. I have copied and paste the info from the website below
Aged care workers
For aged care workers, these rules also apply:
from 1 May, you must have your influenza vaccination to work in or visit an aged care facility
if you’re a residential aged care worker, you must not go to work if you have a fever or symptoms of a respiratory illnessKind regards

Hi Sarah
As far as I am aware the attached is the only info on this so far. I have asked for some more clarification from VICNISS around staff who have had serious reactions to the flu vaccination in the past etc. The advice I have had back is that it is under review by DHHS currently and there is more info to follow.Hope this helps

Hello brains trust
Further information sought on who can give staff the flu vaccination – our nurse immuniser is home isolating and I have the vaccinations to give. Can I appoint a registered nurse to give – or do we need to source a nurse immuniser?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
