Update: Covid-19 Vaccine Priority for Bus Operators

On Tuesday 3rd August we sent a letter to the NSW Transport Minister requesting that bus drivers as part of the Transport Cluster be identified as a priority employment category for vaccination and workplace rapid testing, TfNSW advised the union at our weekly meeting last Friday that they are looking into finding a provider to ensure that frontline transport workers can have dedicated access to Covid-19 vaccination.

TfNSW also advised that Rapid Saliva Testing is on its way as a further tool to help reduce the possibility of transmission within the workplace.

Both of these are works in progress. We will communicate with you as more information comes to hand.

If you are experiencing issues regarding the ability to be vaccinated, please advise your local Delegate.
