Prime Minister Scott Morrison has declared "we have beaten the third wave" of COVID-19 as he revealed for the first time whether high risk groups including aged care workers face mandatory jabs.
Despite the deadly risk of COVID-19 taking hold in the nation's nursing homes the Prime Minister has confirmed the states have agreed it won't be illegal to work in aged care without being vaccinated.
"At this point they're not recommending that that be the case,'' the Prime Minister said.
But that doesn't mean "no jab, no job" rules won't be invoked by some of the big providers in work contracts, with the Morrison Government effectively leaving it up to employers to work through the issues.
