SA Health Occupational Assessment Screening and Vaccination Policy 

16 September 2022

ANMF (SA Branch) has been asked to consult with members on the draft ‘SA Health Occupational Assessment Screening and Vaccination Policy’.

The policy provides the requirements for:

  • the assessment, screening and vaccination to protect against specified vaccine preventable diseases and;
  • assessment and screening of tuberculosis (TB). 

The intent of the policy is to minimise the risk of transmission of these infections. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented further challenges to our healthcare system and this Policy includes specific requirements regarding COVID-19 vaccination. 

Prior to consultation with members we provided SA Health with some initial feedback, our correspondence and the Policy can be viewed below.
