BREAKING NEWS: Today, the NSW Government confirmed further details on the three-stage roadmap to reopen the state at 70% and 80% vaccination rates, with the final stage from December 1. 😷

To support and guide businesses in becoming COVID Safe and operational at 70% double vaccination, this update includes information about:

👉 Proof of vaccination requirements
👉 Guidance on vaccination compliance and obligations for businesses
👉 Details on what to do if your business becomes an exposure site
👉 Information on vaccination of your staff and customers.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR REGIONAL NSW BUSINESSES: 😷😷😷
This update has also confirmed that staff in regional local government areas (LGAs), excluding Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains, Wollongong, Shellharbour and the Central Coast, only need to prove ONE vaccine dose and a booking for a second dose. 👏

A summary of public health measures for businesses are:

👉 If a staff member tests positive, whether they are vaccinated or unvaccinated, they must self-isolate for 14 days and follow the advice from NSW Health. Businesses will refer to their COVID-19 Safety Plan and risk assessment approach for further instructions on notifying other staff.

👉 Businesses must inform NSW Health if three or more employees test positive for COVID-19 in a seven-day period.
NSW Health guidelines will enable businesses to assess workplace risk if a COVID-19 case is identified and confirm actions to be taken.

👉 Businesses can reduce the risk of closure or staff going into isolation by implementing rigorous COVID-19 Safety Plans. Other proactive steps businesses can take include ensuring staff are vaccinated and implementing regular onsite testing programs for workers.

Regarding vaccination compliance and obligations:

👉 Businesses are responsible for taking reasonable steps to prevent unvaccinated people entering your premises. For example, having prominent signs stating requirements, Service NSW QR codes, staff checking vaccination status upon entry and only accepting valid forms of evidence of vaccination, or medical exemption.

👉 Authorised officers will monitor businesses re-opening, particularly those that have vaccination requirements, for example hospitality, retail, gyms, and personal services such as hair and beauty.

👉 Penalties may apply for individuals and businesses who don’t comply. On the spot fines of $1,000 may apply to individuals for not complying, or for using fraudulent evidence of vaccination or check-in.

👉 On the spot fines of $5,000 may apply to businesses for not complying with the Public Health Order vaccination requirements. Further penalties may apply for significant breaches.
