Yes. COVID-19 vaccination will be a condition of entry to BHP workplaces in Australia as of 31 January 2022. You will need to be fully vaccinated (both doses) to access BHP workplaces beyond these dates. The requirement will come into effect on earlier dates where needed due to Government public health orders (e.g. Victoria and WA) or because of other risk factors such as status of any local COVID-19 outbreaks and State Government re-opening plans, such as NSW. 

Alternative effective dates for vaccination:

• WA: The effective vaccination dates for WA aligned with State Government public health orders: 
  
  • Exposed port / vessel / vessel contact workers were required to have their first vaccination dose by 15 October 2021 and be fully vaccinated by 12 November 2021. 
  • All other workers are required to have their first vaccination dose by 1 December 2021, and to be fully vaccinated by 1 January 2022. 
• NSW: Considering the current COVID-19 outbreak in NSW and the State Government plan to ease restrictions, workers and visitors to BHP workplaces in NSW were required to have their first vaccination dose by 10 November 2021 and be fully vaccinated by 31 January 2022. 
• Victoria: The Melbourne office was closed for a period of time, and is now beginning to reopen. For limited authorised workers who had access during the closed period, the State Government required these workers to have their first vaccination dose by 15 October 2021 and to be fully vaccinated by 26 November 2021. Further announcements will be made once a decision is made to re-open the Melbourne office.
