The Victorian Government has announced Victoria has hit its 70 per cent double dose COVID-19 vaccination target nearly a week early and significant restrictions have eased. Thank you to every Victorian for going out and getting vaccinated.
The changes which came into effect from 11.59pm Thursday 21 October include:
- All construction projects (large scale, small scale construction and early stage land development projects) can return to 100 per cent of their workforce.
- Workers at all construction sites will need to adhere to the schedule in the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination (Specified Facilities) Directions, requiring them to have had their first COVID-19 vaccination dose by 22 October 2021, and a second COVID-19 vaccination dose by 13 November 2021, unless a valid medical exemption applies.
- Construction, building and non-essential maintenance work can also recommence at occupied premises in metropolitan Melbourne. This will mean:
- Workers will be able to work both indoors and outdoors at occupied premises.
- Workers can work in occupied premises where the work must take place in the home, for example, cleaning, maintenance and renovations.
