Anyone planning a trip to Australia must be fully vaccinated and have a negative PCR test within three days before leaving. Only New South Wales, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory will allow visitors to fly in without being quarantined due to differing legislation in each state and territory.

If you’re planning to Study in Australia or already are a student and were studying online this is the time to come back to Australia and experience the best of it.

This comes as great news for those students currently studying IHNA courses online as they will now be able to join their course on-campus in Australia as on-site education will recommence and classrooms will be open. We encourage all students to get vaccinated as full vaccination will be required for international arrivals to enter Australia without quarantine. Students should contact their IHM counsellor or recruitment agent to review their plans and finalise their enrolment.

IHNA is looking forward to welcome students from all over the world to come and study with us and at the same time experience the best of Australia.

The Victorian Premier announced on September 19th that once 80% of Victorians become fully vaccinated restrictions in the Victorian Roadmap, Delivering the National Plan will align with Phase D of Australia’s National COVID-19 Response.

Australia to welcome international students without quarantine!

Unfortunately, based on the current trajectory of the outbreak, we will not be in a position to lift restrictions on Thursday as planned. Victoria’s Chief Health Officer has declared that from tonight the lockdown restrictions will be strengthened and extended in metropolitan Melbourne, until 11.59 pm on Thursday, 2 September. This is an additional 14 days on the previous directions.

Students are included

The strengthened settings will see a curfew imposed from 9 pm to 5 am every night. This will operate as it did last year, with very limited reasons to leave the home during this time. There will be increased police presence across metropolitan Melbourne to ensure public health measures are enforced. While the restrictions commence from 11.59 pm tonight, we are asking people to respect the curfew from 9 pm.

Permits will be required to leave the house for authorised work, consistent with the arrangements that were in place last year. Additional restrictions will also apply to the construction industry, again operating as it did last year with staffing reductions in place except for critical infrastructure and emergency repairs. At large scale construction sites, staffing must reduce to 25 per cent or five workers on site, whichever is higher. Authorised workers will be required to carry permits when working, and when travelling for work, from 11:59 pm on Tuesday, August 17. The permits need to be certified by an employer. Permits will be available on the coronavirus website before these directions come into effect. Permits will also need to be carried by higher education students who are on the Authorised Provider list.

IHNA will continue its operation remotely the same as before and if anyone you required to attend on-campus Simulation-Based Assessment(SBA) or attending clinical placement is required to contact your student support officers to obtain your permit.

• Authorised workers list included health practitioners, including medical, nursing, midwifery and allied health students on placement, when undertaking critical training and examinations; or
• study for health care workers (including clinical placements)

Students are included

The Department of Health issued a bulletin ‘Mandatory Vaccination of Aged Care Workers’ on 3 August 2021 which states that students are proposed to be included in the scope of the workforce now requiring the COVID-19 vaccination. Ultimately states and territories will determine the scope and exemptions to be included in the instruments to implement the National Cabinet decision. Please liaise with your state training authority to confirm students will be in the scope of the instrument.

How to access the vaccination

All primary care clinics are expected to make a vaccination appointment for residential aged care workers within seven days of a request. All residential aged care workers are eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine.

Residential aged care workers can continue to access state and territory vaccination channels. Students may use the eligibility checker to check the availability of local appointments.

Further information on the Australian Government’s vaccination program is available on the Department of Health website. Information about implementation establishing mandatory vaccination requirements for residential aged care workers will be available from the Department of Health’s website. You may also contact the dedicated COVID-19 Vaccine Helpline on 1800 020 080 and select option 4 for more information.

Kind regards,

The vaccine is voluntary, and everyone is encouraged to get a vaccine to help protect the community from COVID-19.
