How occupational vaccination works in Victoria

Three sources of obligation operate alongside each other:

  • Current Victorian directions apply to specified workers and settings. Check whether the influenza directions cover your role. COVID-19 Secretary Directions for specified healthcare workers were revoked on 4 October 2024; current workplace policies still need checking.
  • No Jab, No Play (a child requirement, not an educator one) requires children attending early childhood education and care to present a current AIR Immunisation History Statement. This applies to ECEC settings only. not schools.
  • Clinical recommendations and employer policies are separate from legislation. The Handbook helps clinicians assess occupational risks. Ask your employer for the current policy and accepted evidence; do not assume all roles have identical requirements.

Check the evidence your employer needs

An AIR Immunisation History Statement can help, but an employer may require additional evidence, serology or an exemption assessment. Get your statement through myGov or the myGov app. Share only the evidence required through the agreed process.

Each guide explains common occupational considerations. Confirm current requirements and records with your employer and clinician before arranging care.

What an occupational assessment can involve

  1. Pharmacist reviews your AIR record against the specific requirements for your role.
  2. Identifies gaps. what's missing, what's out of date, what proof you'll need.
  3. Checks which services are suitable, authorised and available, and plans any needed visits or referrals. Vaccinations provided are reported to AIR.
  4. Ask when to check the updated AIR statement. Reporting and processing may take time, and additional evidence may be needed.
  5. For serology blood tests (e.g. hepatitis B post-vaccination immunity check), we point you to your GP or a pathology collection centre. that's outside pharmacy scope.
