The Qantas Grou<\/strong>p will require all employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as part of the national carrier\u2019s commitment to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frontline employees \u2013 including cabin crew, pilots and airport workers \u2013 will need to be fully vaccinated by 15 November 2021 and the remainder of employees by 31 March 2022. There will be exemptions for those who are unable for documented medical reasons to be vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The policy follows consultation with Qantas and Jetstar employees including a survey sent to 22,000 people to seek their views on vaccination. The 12,000 responses received makes it one of the biggest single surveys on this topic in Australia. 89% said had already been vaccinated or are planning to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said: \u201cHaving a fully vaccinated workforce will safeguard our people against the virus but also protect our customers and the communities we fly to..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further discussions will take place with employees, their health and safety representatives and unions over the coming weeks on the detail of the policy, including how medical exemptions will be applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
