VACCINE PASSPORT CHECKING ONLY UNTIL 6PM FRIDAY NIGHT

Good Afternoon Members,

It has just been confirmed by the State Government that our members will not need to check vaccination status from 6 pm Friday night October 29.

Please see below.

What vaccination requirements apply in retail at Phase C of the Roadmap?

Victoria’s Chief Health Officer has determined that on Friday 29 October at 6:00 pm, Victoria will move forward in opening up and more restrictions will ease away. Metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria will operate under the same settings and retail will be open.

Customers attending general retail (e.g. clothing store) and essential retail (e.g. supermarket) will not be required to provide information on being fully vaccinated. Workers in general retail (e.g. clothing store) and essential retail (e.g. supermarket) are required to be vaccinated by the dates specified in the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination (Workers) Directions (second dose required by 26 November 2021).
