Covid injections - which employers are mandating them?
The Mandate Update Project
The aim of this project is to provide information on the current mandates for COVID-19 vaccinations made by large employers and governments in Australia for their employees.
Information is provided in the searchable table below, and can also be downloaded as a colour-coded Excel spreadsheet or OpenOffice spreadsheet. The Excel spreadsheet provides more detailed information, including links to employer websites where appropriate.
As far as we can ascertain, the information is correct at the date given for each employer.
How employers can send us information
If you are an employer and would like to correct or add information, please email editor@clarityonhealth.org and copy your email to mandates@clarityonhealth.org. Thank you!
How readers can send us information
Information from our readers is very helpful, but we do need solid evidence. Also, if you could please spend a few minutes presenting the information in the way we need it, that saves a lot of work for us. Please send your information to mandates@clarityonhealth.org
We need volunteers!
Running this project requires a lot of time. We are looking for one or two people who could give two or three hours a week – working from home at any time that suits them.
The work involves verifying information (usually job advertisements) sent to mandates@clarityonhealth.org by our readers and updating our spreadsheets.
Occasionally you may need to email or phone employers to clarify their vaccine requirements. It’s important for this that you pay attention to details like correct spelling and that you are comfortable being polite but persistent on the phone.
To volunteer please email

Updates
With limited resources, we are currently prioritising the Excess Deaths project. If you are keen for more updates on the situation with covid injection mandates in Australia please consider volunteering!
The next update is planned for late October 2023
If you want to be told when the next update has come out, please subscribe to our Substack. It’s free and you will get updates on our other work too.
1. If you come across a job advertisement that requires covid vaccinations, please include:
- The link to the advertisement
- Screenshots of the whole advertisement which also show the date and time on your computer. Ideally please put these screenshots in a Word or LibreOffice Writer document and save it as a PDF. Please name the PDF with the name of the employer and the date of your screenshots.
- Highlight the part of the advert that mentions the vaccination requirement – you could copy the wording into your email for instance.
2. If you see a statement on an employer website about covid vaccination requirements, please send:
- A link to that webpage
- Screenshot of the page showing the statement on covid vaccines which also shows the date and time on your computer. Ideally please put this screenshot in a Word or LibreOffice Writer document and save it as a PDF. Please name the PDF with the name of the employer and the date of your screenshot.
- Highlight the part of the webpage that mentions the vaccination requirement – you could copy the wording into your email for instance.
3. If you are personally asked to get covid-vaccinated by your employer, please email us with whatever evidence you have and tell us about what has happened. We will liaise with you about what we put on the site, nothing will be published without your consent, and no personal information will be made public.
4. If your employer removes mandates please email us any supporting evidence you have for this and the date from which mandates were/will be removed.
