Ensuring your employees are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases isn’t just good practice – it’s an important part of meeting your occupational health and safety responsibilities. At VaxWorks Health Services, we can help you stay informed about the immunisation status of your workforce and take steps to keep them safe and healthy.
Why workplace vaccination matters
The Australian Government has published a guide outlining recommended vaccinations for people at increased risk due to their occupation. These recommendations help protect employees, reduce absenteeism, and minimise the spread of illness in the workplace.
Some roles are particularly high-risk, including:
- Healthcare workers
- People working in childhood education and care
- Carers
- Prison workers
- Cleaning crews
- Emergency and essential services workers
- Laboratory workers
If you employ people in these roles, it’s crucial to understand how many of your employees are meeting the recommended vaccination guidelines, and to have a plan to improve uptake where needed.
How our vaccination audit works
At VaxWorks Health Services, we make it easy for you to assess and improve the vaccination status of your team. Our audit program is straightforward and completed in three simple steps:
1️⃣ Collect information
We ask your employees to complete a short online form to provide relevant immunisation details.
2️⃣ Verify records
We cross-check the information provided with available data stored with Medicare to ensure accuracy.
3️⃣ Report and advise
We provide you with a clear, comprehensive report on the vaccination status of your employees — along with recommended next steps to address any gaps.
The benefits of a vaccination audit
Conducting a vaccination audit – and implementing an occupational vaccination program if needed – brings several benefits:
✔ Helps you meet your workplace health and safety obligations
✔ Reduces the risk of illness outbreaks and absenteeism
✔ Supports employee wellbeing by making it easier for staff to access recommended vaccines
✔ Demonstrates your commitment to a safe and healthy workplace
