The Senate Education and Employment Legislation Committee is calling for submissions to its inquiry into the COVID-19 Vaccination Status (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill 2022 and the Fair Work Amendment (Prohibiting COVID-19 Vaccine Discrimination) Bill 2023 by 24 March 2023.
The COVID-19 Vaccination Status (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill 2022 seeks to prohibit discrimination by the commonwealth, state and territory governments, statutory authorities, local governments and private enterprises based on a person's COVID-19 vaccination status.
The Fair Work Amendment (Prohibiting COVID-19 Vaccine Discrimination) Bill 2023 seeks to amend the Fair Work Act 2009 by adding COVID-19 vaccination status as an attribute protected from discrimination. Information about the bill is available on the APH website.
Further information about the inquiry is available on the committee's website.
