Queensland drops Covid vaccine mandates for teachers, with NSW to follow

She said mandates would remain in force for workers in healthcare, hospital, aged care and disability care facilities.On Friday, the NSW Department of Education put forward a proposal to remove vaccination requirements for most staff from term three.

Staff who work in schools for specific purposes or support units and classes will still require evidence of a third booster dose to attend work. “Throughout the pandemic, we have continued to review and update risk assessments to ensure they remain fit for purpose, and we will continue to do so as health and community settings change,” Harrisson said.

Looks like each state wanted to retain their unvaccinated teachers and not lose them to another state
