Australia permanently mandates vaccines for health workers

The new code of conduct for health practitioners permanently obliges health workers to take vaccines against any disease that authorities deem necessary.

Australia's vaccination of health practitioners is to become permanently mandatory with the new code of conduct

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) updated the entire industry's code of conduct to permanently mandate vaccines, according to the Rebel News.

“This year, a new additional clause, states that health practitioners must be immunised against any relevant communicable disease" Rebel News reported.

The new code of conduct is taking effect from the 29th June 2022 to strengthen medical mandates at a time the country removed several covid restrictions claiming the pandemic is ending.

Previously the code of conduct stated that health practitioners must 'understand the principles of immunisation against communicable diseases

The continent nation between the Pacific and Indian oceans in the Southern Hemisphere has been very notorious for forcing its citizens to accept the four jabs for covid.

An Australian medical practitioner told the Rebel News over the weekend that "It's a sneaky way to have an ongoing mandate for all Allied Health Professionals”

The health practitioner said she "[believed] there are some health practitioners sitting on the side-lines waiting for mandates to end or state of emergencies to end. Maybe they're working in a limited capacity from home. Maybe they're on extended breaks, on maternity leave. Or just working in another job right now.

But if something like this is put into the code of conduct, maybe that means they can't even work from home or come back at a later date when the state of emergency ends", she added.

In early 2021 the Services Australia general manager Hank Jongen assured the public not to worry about rumours that covid vaccines would be made mandatory.

“The coronavirus vaccine is voluntary and the government has made that absolutely clear,” he said 

The new move by the health practice regulator in Australia may confirm the current rumours that institutions such as Family Tax Benefit (FTB) and the old-age pension, will be linked to the jab in August 2022, to coerce parents into getting all kids done, or to lose their payments.

Alleged in the pipeline also is that the whole family or everyone at the same residence will need to provide proof of shots, for example, a single mother getting benefits, will need to provide proof for herself and all the children too.

Reports have it that the waiting times at Centrelink, an Australian Government department delivering payments and services on behalf of a number of government programs, have hiked like never before.

Some have attributed it to the staff walking out over vaccine mandates and unpromising health changes.

In November 2020 the Guardian published “Centrelink office waiting times balloon despite the major push towards online services” which the writer said blames the challenge on inadequate staff.
