South Australia's COVID-Ready Plan

More information about South Australia’s COVID-Ready Plan has been released, including the latest test, trace isolate and quarantine requirements from Tuesday, 23 November.  

These requirements mean fewer people will be required to quarantine and it will also enable more people to quarantine for shorter periods of time. 

The SA Health website outlines how this applies in: 

• Testing and quarantine requirements for contacts of a COVID-19 case and  
• Frequently Asked Questions – Assessing and Managing the risk. 

There is also specific information for businesses that explains what to do to and how to assess and manage the risk when any person with COVID has attended the premises (including staff). The advice is for hospitality, community sport, entertainment, higher education, beauty, recreation and other educational facilities.

The guidance relates to your responsibilities to communicate with SA Health as well as cleaning requirements and test, trace, isolate and quarantine.

Workplace rights and obligations for COVID-19 vaccinations 

South Australian employers need to ensure they understand their workplace rights and obligations before having conversations with their staff about whether COVID-19 vaccinations will be mandatory in their workplace.

Employers should exercise caution and get their own legal advice before deciding if their employees will have to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has provided some guidance to assist employers.
