Occupational assessment, screening and vaccination requirement in aged care

[Monika Mehta]

Hi all,

My question is regarding – Occupational health requirement in aged care settings.

I am wondering whether there are any aged-care-specific “Occupational Assessment, Screening, and Vaccination Policy/Directives” available in NSW. Are clinical staff in aged care required to undergo a similar assessment process as outlined in the NSW Health Policy Directive for Category A Workers?

Kind regards.
