Who needs to be vaccinated to enter OTARC facilities and who is exempt?
Protecting the health and safety of our students, staff and wider communities has been La Trobe’s first priority throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
From 1 December 2021, all staff, students, honorary appointees, contractors, tenants, volunteers and visitors attending our campuses will be required to be fully vaccinated (limited exemptions apply). Zones have been identified across all campuses in which only fully vaccinated people are now able to attend. Please refer to the new Health and Safety Procedure – COVID-19 Vaccination which includes zone maps.
Children aged under 12, and those with a valid medical exemption are permitted on campus. Exemptions do not apply to those who choose not to be vaccinated on personal or religious grounds.
