COVID-19 update from Dan regarding vaccinations

Hi All

As I’m sure you’re aware, all Australians are being encouraged to get vaccinated against COVID-19. I strongly encourage all Chorus staff and volunteers to be vaccinated as soon as they are eligible.

The Australian Government’s COVID-19 vaccine national roll-out strategy sets out the phases of distribution for COVID-19 vaccines in Australia. This week, “Priority Group 1b” commenced, which is likely to include many of you. The Vaccine Eligibility Checker allows you to check to see if you can book a COVID-19 vaccination now covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au. Please use this checker to confirm your specific circumstances; in general terms, Priority Group 1b includes all front line workers (those with regular face to face contact with customers), people over 70, and Aboriginal people over 55.

For those of you working in teams in the community supporting customers, please click here to download a letter confirming that you are in Priority Group 1b. If required, you can use this letter, along with your ID badge, as evidence of your eligibility. If you do not have printing capability at home you may also choose to simply keep your letter electronically, e.g. on your phone.

If you need any specific support, please reach out to your Team Lead or should you wish to contact the Employee Assistance Program provided by Access Wellbeing please call 1300 667 700. This confidential service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Again, thanks for your hard work and flexibility at this unprecedented time.

Kind regards

Dan
