Contractors and suppliers
All suppliers, contractors and their employees, agents, and subcontractors visiting a St John of God Health Care facility must be vaccinated according to state requirements and category of risk.
Any supplier or contractor who has not provided St John of God Health Care with their proof of vaccination or appointment via the online form will be considered unvaccinated and will not be able to enter our facilities.
Providing proof of vaccination
To provide proof of vaccinations for yourself or your employees, please follow the below steps:
- Go to www.sjog.org.au/vaccinedeclaration
- Fill in your details and attach a proof of vaccination document. See below for accepted forms of evidence.
- Employees/agents/subcontractors will receive an email confirming whether their declaration has been accepted or not.
- When visiting a St John of God Health Care facility, suppliers/contractors will need to have a copy of their proof of vaccination and/or email confirmation ready in the event they are asked for it.
- Additionally, there may be other check-in requirements at individual facilities.
Visiting suppliers/contractors who have not already pre-registered through the above link can scan the QR code to be taken to the website and submit their proof of vaccination on the spot.
