No. On 20 May 2022, the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirement for TasTAFE students, volunteers, contractors and visitors, was removed.

Students are no longer required to provide evidence of their COVID-19 vaccination status unless they are enrolling in a qualification where vaccination against COVID-19 is an industry requirement, such as nursing, aged and residential care, early childhood, disability support etc.

The COVID-19 situation is continuing to evolve. TasTAFE reviews its position regularly and considers whether changes are required. Removal of the COVID-19 vaccination mandate at this time is consistent with other TAFEs across Australia and supports the relaxing of other COVID-19 measures by Tasmanian Public Health.

The changing nature of the pandemic means we may need to revisit decisions if there is an escalation in case numbers across the state and within the organisation. This will continue to be monitored closely.

• All TasTAFE staff (including teachers and support staff) unless they hold a valid medical exemption, and
• Students who are enrolled in a qualification where vaccination against COVID-19 is an industry requirement such as nursing, aged and residential care, early childhood, disability support etc.

Please visit the Tasmanian Government Coronavirus website to book your COVID-19 vaccination online or call Tasmanian Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738.

The wearing of face masks is mandatory for all TasTAFE staff in all campuses and training facilities unless they have a medical exemption.

The wearing of face masks for students, volunteers, visitors and contractors at TasTAFE campuses and training facilities is optional but strongly encouraged.

No. If you would like to wear a mask, please bring your own.

Mandatory face mask wearing may be reintroduced if Public Health advice changes.
