As COVID cases continue to fluctuate across the world, the disruptive impact on businesses and their employees is far from over. Australia’s vaccine rollout began a few weeks ago in February 2021 and there are number of safety and employment issues up for consideration regarding the vaccines. Many businesses are seeing both benefits and risk from employees no longer being in the workplace.

What is the responsibility of the employers in this new ecosystem? What does the law say about an employee’s right to choose whether to vaccinate or not?
