Keeping up with COVID
UPDATED 10/11/2023
COVID-19 Vaccinations no longer mandatory
In line with current guidelines, COVID-19 vaccinations are no longer mandatory, and we no longer require employees, contractors, visitors or students to be vaccinated against COVID-19. In some instances, mandatory vaccinations may be required for different employment sectors, and we ask that you ensure that you meet these requirements. Vaccination is strongly encouraged and remains one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and those around you.
Continued safety measures
Despite changes in vaccination requirements, the health and safety of our employees, contractors, visitors and students remains our top priority. We will continue to maintain a COVID-19-safe environment to minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission. This includes;
- Hygiene practices: Please continue to follow good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, to prevent the spread of the virus.
- Staying home when unwell: We encourage you to remain home if you are unwell with COVID-19. While there are no isolation guidelines, we want to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19 by encouraging you to not visit our campuses if unwell.
- Other safety practices:
- Face coverings are encouraged if you have COVID-19 and are not at home or isolating.
- Ensure you maintain physical distancing where possible to minimise the risk of spreading infection. This applies to all colds, flu and viruses you may carry; good hygiene, staying home when unwell and physical distancing help reduce transmission of any virus.
These measures will ensure The Gordon remains a safe environment for all who visit, learn and work at our campuses. We ask for your continued cooperation and understanding as we adapt to the changing circumstances.
