New Chambers Webinar - Legal issues associated with COVID-19 Vaccinations

09/08/2021

Australia is now at the stage of the COVID-19 pandemic where a number of vaccines have been developed and made available. Australia is not yet at the stage where supply has outstripped demand, but inevitably we will reach that stage.

Then, Australia may be left with the position where individuals may decide not to take the vaccine as has occurred in other jurisdictions. How to treat this group of citizens will raise questions concerning the power of Government, the balancing of that power against individual liberties and any compulsions by Government, whether it will be left to employers to fill the vacuum by mandating that employees be vaccinated.

Arthur Moses SC recently delivered a paper titled 'Can Employers Mandate Vaccinations'. A copy of that paper is available here.
