On 21 December 2022, Hydro Tasmania implemented a change to remove the COVID-19 Vaccination Policy that required all employees, contractors, suppliers, volunteers, persons undertaking work placement and visitors (who are granted entry on site) to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and supply proof of vaccination. Hydro Tasmania will now adopt an approach of continuing to strongly encourage the maintenance of an up-to-date vaccination status following Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) guidelines, which means receiving the recommended boosters at the advised intervals to maintain protection against COVID-19.
Mandatory vaccination may be required in certain circumstances relating to current or future client requirements, project risk assessment outcomes and international travel requirements. In these cases, the risk of infectious disease will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and vaccination requirements advised. If you have any questions, please get in touch at contactus@hydro.com.au
