COVID-19 vaccine program

The national rollout of Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine program has begun. Below you’ll find the most up-to-date information on the program.

We await further information on when members of the CPV industry will receive the vaccine and will update you when we know more.

The first phase of the vaccine rollout targets the most at-risk of contracting COVID-19 in our community, including people:

  • at higher risk of being exposed to COVID-19, and
  • people at the most risk of serious illness should they contract COVID-19.

If you are not eligible in Phase One, there are things you can do in the meantime to prepare for vaccination.
