Dear Valued Supplier,

Thank you for your continued commitment to keeping our staff, residents and clients safe.

For suppliers and contractors visiting or working at Calvary Aged Care facilities, there is a further requirement that dose #2 of an approved COVID-19 vaccine has been received.

In order to comply with State and Territory Health Directives, Calvary must collect, record and hold the vaccination information of all workers, including suppliers and contractors to Calvary.

How do I provide certification of vaccination to Calvary?
