Integrity have been advised by Department of Health and our Contract Manager that these directions apply directly to all Integrity Casual Staff provided to and working at applicable healthcare facilities across WA.

Integrity is required by law to comply with these directions and accordingly, we are required to provide evidence of the COVID-19 vaccination status of all our staff working in healthcare setting or facilities within the timeframes provided.

We are in the process of contacting current temporary contractors engaged through the Department of Health to please provide us with an update of your COVID-19 vaccination status.

Your COVID-19 vaccination status will be treated as personal / sensitive information as required by the Australian Privacy Principals and in line with our Privacy Policy.

You can book your COVID-19 vaccination by visiting the Roll up for WA website or by visiting your GP.

Alternatively, you can  call 13 COVID (13 26843) who can assist in making a vaccination booking.

All healthcare and health support workers covered by these Directions will be eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, regardless of age.

If you are looking for general information around the COVID-19 vaccine, please visit the HealthyWA website or speak to your GP.
