Click here All Calvary Staff | Mandatory Vaccination by 1 Nov 202128 September 2021 Dear Colleagues, In delivering our mission to provide care to those in need, we at Calvary must do all we can to protect and keep safe our patients, residents and clients who may be placed at significant risk if they are exposed to, and contract the COVID-19 virus. To achieve this, Calvary has introduced the Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy applicable to all Calvary staff. The Policy has now been approved by the National Executive Leadership Team (NELT). As part of the consultation process in considering a Calvary wide policy, a draft of the Calvary Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy was provided to over 300 Calvary employees selected randomly to cover demographics of gender, age, professional work group and location to gather feedback, as well as all relevant Unions who represent Calvary employees to gather their feedback and suggestions. We received a variety of responses and very helpful suggestions and ideas, many of which have been incorporated into the Policy. Thank you to everyone who contributed. A full list of Q&As gathered throughout consultation can be found here or can also be accessed on Calvary Connect – please search under Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination. Some key considerations for staff have been outlined below:
A full list of resources for staff can be found here and information for managers is available through contacting your Regional Director of People & Culture.
