Proof of Vaccination

From Monday, the requirement to provide proof of vaccination at a number of venues has been expanded, including visitors to public and private hospitals, and residential aged care facilities. NDS has liaised with the Department of Premier and Cabinet and can confirm disability facilities are currently excluded from the proof of vaccine requirement. However, masks are still required to be worn in high-risk indoor settings, including disability facilities.

Visiting NDS’s WA office

NDS is deeply committed to keeping our staff, stakeholders and communities as safe as possible. We recognise that COVID-19 vaccinations are an essential public health measure to prevent, control and abate the serious public health risk presented by COVID-19.  From Monday 17 January 2022, all visitors attending the NDS office in Lindsay Street, Perth must show proof of vaccination or a copy of a medically approved exemption.

Workforce

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced International students will no longer have restrictions on the number of hours they can work to help alleviate worker shortages.

Jobs in WA Disability Services

NDS’s Jobs in WA Disability Services website is still operating and organisations may find this source of potential workforce of even greater value now. The website aims to reduce the time and effort it takes to recruit staff by connecting skilled job seekers with employers looking for skilled workers. The website is a useful tool to help minimise disruption from the impacts of COVID-19.
