The higher the qualifications, the more difficult it is to walk away.My information is that unvaxed FT permanent nurses will be placed on unpaid leave and not fired as its illegal under Fair Work conditions.
And if a few unvaccinated walk away, the benefits outweigh the costs.
By the way, let’s not lose sight of the fact that this is not just a Victorian policy. It’s just about in force in NSW and WA is doing the same. And it’ll be hard for unvaccinated nurses to travel overseas to ply their trade if they can’t get on planes or get through immigration if they’re not vaccinated.
