Industry groups seek vaccine mandate clarification

There are concerns Victoria’s covid-vaccine mandate, could further contribute to the agriculture sector’s labour shortages.

Workers will need to have had at least one dose by the 15th of October, and be double-vaxxed by the 26th of November.

Rural editor Sophie Clarke caught up with Victorian Farmers Federation President Emma Germano who says the industry is seeking clarity surrounding unfair dismissal, privacy rights and employer obligations.
