If an individual chooses not to receive a vaccination, they acknowledge that they may not be able to enter an ARLF workplace, or participate in the ARLF’s activities, and programs The ARLF acknowledges that there may be medical reasons why an individual may not be able to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, or choose not to in their circumstances, including protected attributes such as pregnancy or disability.
1.6 From time to time the ARLF interacts with people and communities with an elevated risk of being infected with COVID-19 such as, for example people with a reduced immune system, medical professionals, flight crew, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and communities. Individuals that this policy relates to have a duty to consider their personal health and wellbeing and the desires of others during the pandemic.
