What is happening with other police jurisdictions around the country on this issue?

Nearly all State and Territory police forces have now moved to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations.

In addition, vaccination mandates have been in place for several different industries for some time, most notably those working within health care and aged caring. There is also a growing trend of a range of different industries and occupations moving towards mandating COVID-19 vaccinations. This change in community expectations is likely to give further weight to such mandates being lawful and reasonable, particularly for those within law enforcement.
