Google is mandating staff worldwide to have COVID-19 vaccinations to return to the office, but the tech giant may struggle to enforce the policy in Australia | carawaters

to the company’s more than 130,000 employees worldwide. He said the requirement to be vaccinated would be first imposed in the United States before being extended to the more than 40 other countries where Google operates.

“Getting vaccinated is one of the most important ways to keep ourselves and our communities healthy in the months ahead,” he wrote.A spokeswoman for Facebook Australia said the application of its mandatory vaccination policy would depend on local conditions and regulations. Employment law expert Anthony Forsyth said it did not appear that companies could mandate that employees get the COVID jabs.

Local tech companies have instead focused on incentivising employees to get vaccinated, with Atlassian, Zip and Airtasker all signing the Great Aussie Vaccine Pledge which promises paid leave and extra flexibility for employees getting COVID-19 vaccinations.

WA has the worst vaccination rate among states for aged care workers, and the deadline is loomingLess than a quarter of Western Australia's residential aged care workforce is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, sparking fears of staff shortages when inoculation becomes mandatory in mid-September. Those numbers are terrible, it's not that hard to get vaccinated. I have been. I dont blame them but there has to be a line in the sand. The industry is an awful place to work for those at bottom of food chain ( the majority ) Insulting pay, unpleasant unforgiving work, casual contracts etc. Where's the incentive

COVID-19 VACCINE: More than 16pc of over 16s fully vaccinatedMore than five months since the beginning of the vaccine rollout all Commonwealth aged care facilities have received both doses of the COVID-19 jab. So much winning. Australia now only just 18th in the world... a little bit behind Mexico. So glad it's not a race. 'Over a year and a half into the global pandemic, more than 16 per cent of the over 16 population are fully vaccinated!' Hi social media kid. It must be bloody embarrassing to type this crap out.

Lachlan is fully vaccinated, tested for COVID and stuck at the NSW borderThe Melbourne father is waiting on the border but says he's been met with silence from the Victorian government after seeking approval to come home. Please don't give me hard luck stories of people stuck there. It sucks but it's better than the whole of Victoria copping a spike. On July 11 the VIC government had been telling people not to travel to NSW for weeks. You take a gamble, you might lose. Has he thought about making a donation to VictorianLabor ?
