Emergency Management (Passenger Transport Vaccination 3) (COVID-19) Direction 2021 has been revoked and was replaced with Emergency Management (Passenger Transport Vaccination No 4) (COVID-19) Direction 2021. It came into effect at 2.30pm on 10 December 2021.
Key changes include:
Passenger Transport Workers will be required to have at least one dose of a TGA approved vaccination by 3 January 2022, previously this was required by 20 December 2021. At this time they must also have received or have evidence of a booking to receive a second dose. Exemption criteria remain the same.
This does not include Passenger Transport Workers who work at or from airports as they must already be vaccinated.
All point to point drivers must provide the entity which makes their bookings from members of the public with proof of their vaccination status on request. For example if a person works for a taxi or ride share company they must supply their status to that company.
Passenger transport workers also must provide the operator of their service with proof of their vaccination status on request.
All other requirements remain the same.
