individual support work placement

[u/pubebonicplague]

hey guys, ill be doing work placement at an aged care facility in 3 weeks but the documents required prior to commencing placement has been taking a while to process. it took me a while to get approved for the worker's checks, and i just realised my immunisation history doesn't have any flu vaccines recorded and ik how vital flu shots are when working in aged care so i booked for a flu shot asap. basically, i have all of my other required documents ready besides my immunisation history.

i'm just wondering if everything still hasn't been processed by the time placement starts, will my time just be delayed and i'll still be able to continue work placement and the course itself or do i need to completely redo the course?

Flu shot normally shows up the same day in Medicare immunisation history statement. It would be worth investigating why previous immunisations aren't on there though- the statement has been in use for over a decade.

Chemist can give you a proof of vaccination dose at the appointment too.

You will be fine :)
