On 4 October 2024, Secretary Directions mandating COVID-19 vaccination for healthcare workers were revoked.
Victorian healthcare workers are now strongly recommended to remain up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations as per Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) advice and the Australian Immunisation Handbook.
The decision to revoke the COVID-19 vaccine Secretary Directions, and replace them with a strong recommendation to remain up to date, reflects the evolving COVID-19 epidemiologic situation in Victoria, emerging evidence on the burden of COVID-19 disease and advice and guidance from ATAGI on COVID-19 vaccination.

Been spending a bit of time at Peter McCallum recently. Hardly anyone was wearing masks - even doctors and nurses.

The main exceptions were the Admin staff at the reception desks!
