Potential changes to our vaccination policy: have your say

With Victoria having become one of the most vaccinated societies in the world, the state government has now eased most COVID restrictions. This includes allowing unvaccinated students and visitors to attend higher education premises.

As a result of this changed environment, we’re considering revoking Deakin’s COVID-19 Vaccination Procedure, which we introduced at the end of January 2022 to help achieve a fully vaccinated and COVIDSafe University environment.

We encourage you to have your say on the proposal to revoke this policy – just email any feedback to [email protected] by Friday 27 May.

Should the vaccination procedure be revoked, we will remain subject to all Pandemic Order requirements and other legal obligations. Importantly, if you’re doing a placement in a high-risk setting where vaccine mandates remain, you must still meet any vaccination requirements.

What’s already changed

Continuing to stay COVIDSafe

While the eased restrictions are welcome, we’ll continue to put the safety of our University community first. This may include maintaining vaccination requirements in our higher risk settings.

If you test positive to COVID-19, you may notify us if you wish to receive guidance and support, including contacting others who may have been exposed, if appropriate.
