Covid injections - which employers are mandating them?
The Mandate Update Project
The aim of this project was 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 was correct at the date given for each employer.
The project ended in August 2023, due to lack of resources. Earlier versions of the spreadsheet, covering the period August 2022 – August 2023 may be available on request. Please email editor@clarityonhealth.org
How employers can send us information
If you are an employer and would like to correct or add information, please email editor@clarityonhealth.org
