The Australian Government Department of Health (DOH) has created a toolkit for disability service providers.

Resources include:

  • Disability residential accommodation checklist
  • Consent guidelines for all providers
  • Site checklist for all providers
  • Guidelines on monitoring and reporting side effects
  • Excess dose policy
  • What to expect on vaccination day guidelines

In addition, the DOH vaccine website hosts other helpful resources, such as COVID-19 vaccination common questions - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and the COVID-19 vaccination consent form.

The Australian Government Department of Home Affairs has created a Misinformation and truths about Coronavirus webpage to provide facts and assist anyone who has concerns about the vaccine.

NDS will continue to update our COVID-19 vaccine webpage with the latest resources and information.
