Volunteering

Dear Contractors/Volunteers,

From Monday 18th October 2021, all DET schools are required to collect and record vaccination information for visitors and volunteers working on school sites, in accordance with the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination directions issued by the Victorian Chief Health Officer pursuant to section 200(1)(d) of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (Vic).

As a regular service provider, we ask that you supply vaccination information before arriving at Mount Beauty Primary School.

Vaccination information is information about a worker’s vaccination status as recorded in: 

• a letter from a medical practitioner, 
• a certificate of immunisation or 
• an immunisation history statement obtained from the Australian Immunisation Register

Please ensure you have forwarded a copy of the vaccination certificate for each person who will attend on-site to mount.beauty.ps@education.vic.gov.au

We are unable to accept the sighting of a digital certificate on a mobile device. An emailed copy must be provided prior to attendance on site, or entry will be denied.

If the vaccination information you provide shows that a worker is partially vaccinated, you must also provide information about whether that worker has a booking to receive a vaccine dose so that by 29th November 2021, the worker is fully vaccinated. 

If the vaccine information you provide shows that a worker is unvaccinated, you must provide information about whether the worker has a booking to receive a vaccine dose by the 25th October 2021, that will result in the worker to be partially vaccinated.

Where the vaccination information you provide about a worker includes a certification from a medical practitioner that the worker is unable to receive a dose, or a further dose, of a COVID-19 vaccine, the worker will be recognised as an ‘excepted person’.

Please be assured that all information provided will be stored securely, in line with the DET’s privacy policy.  Please see the attached Data Collection Statement for further information.

Thank you in advance for your co-operation.

Kind regards,

Carolyn Serpell

Principal
