Phase One: Risk Assessment update

Service NSW (SNSW) staff should have now been briefed as to the requirements going forward for mandatory vaccinations.

As a majority of roles across SNSW are customer-facing, for those staff unable to meet the required vaccination status by 1 December 2021 you are strongly encouraged to engage with your employer as to the alternate pathways that may be available for you.

PSA members are also asked to let their union know so we can assist you. The Department of Customer Service has not included the PSA to be part of the Appeal Panel but has extended an invitation to your union to represent members to it when and if required.

Phase Two: Risk Assessment Consultation

The Department has advised it will be releasing the 22 risk assessments for phase two on Monday 1 November 2021 for a two-week consultation period.

Driver Testing

SNSW has advised the PSA it is looking to move out of the interim Driver Testing with a resumption to full testing.

It is acknowledged that some Driver tester/CSRs at this time may not wish to resume their Driver Testing role due to COVID-19 concerns and an opt in/out option will be provided.

The PSA is in ongoing discussions with SNSW as to how this will operate.
