As an employer, Business SA has a clear obligation and duty of care under the Work Health Safety Act
to provide our team members (including employees, contractors, Mentors, Program Facilitators and
Board Members), visitors and the public with a safe environment as South Australia moves towards the
further easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

Whilst we clearly understand and respect that it is an individual’s choice as to whether or not they elect
to undergo COVID-19 vaccinations, we suggest that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best
way to protect yourself and your loved ones as there is evidence that vaccinated people are less
infectious and significantly less likely to become seriously ill. Accordingly, we continue to encourage
team members to consider getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

As the second dose vaccination rate (12 years +) in South Australia is slightly above 92%, a review of
this policy has been conducted and Business SA has now determined that the arrangements
implemented on 23 November 2021 are to be replaced by a new set of arrangements and requirements,
as detailed below. These arrangements will be implemented effective from 7:00am on Wednesday 23
February 2022.

Ultimately, Business SA encourages all South Australians to consider getting the COVID-19 vaccination.

The Business SA Business Advice Hotline is available at 8300 0000.
