IMPORTANT WEBINAR: NSW Health NGOs and mandatory COVID-19 vaccine directions
7 October, 11am–11.45am, online
NADA has provided Justice Connect with a range of legal questions that members are seeking advice on. We encourage members to register to attend—if you’re not available you should still register as you will receive a link to the recording of the webinar. Click here to register.
Do you need legal help with understanding and navigating the impacts of COVID-19 on your organisation?
The circumstances when a community organisation can require their workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are fast-changing and can be difficult to understand.
That’s why Not-for-profit Law’s team of lawyers and network of pro bono law firms are available to provide free legal advice* on COVID-19 vaccinations and workplace rights.
They can help you make sense of questions such as:
- can an organisation ask its workers to be vaccinated?
- can a worker refuse to get vaccinated and, if so, what steps can you take?
- how do anti-discrimination, privacy and work health and safety laws interact with the requirement to get vaccinated?
