Free Flu Vaccinations

As an organisation providing care and services to the aged in our community, RSL Care SA happily supports the Federal Governments legislation on staff Flu vaccinations in aged care facilities. Minister Wyatt moved the legislation earlier this month, and it is now a requirement for all aged care facilities to have a staff influenza vaccination program in place, with an anticipated vaccination rate of 95% for the industry.

RSL Care SA strives to create a safe environment for all who visit our aged care facilities, but especially for our beloved residents. By encouraging a high community uptake of flu vaccination within our community, we can significantly reduce the risk of spread to our elderly and often vulnerable residents from this deadly virus.

Our Flu vaccination program for all staff commenced on the 30th of April, with CEO Nathan Klinge first in line to receive his flu vax. Over the coming weeks we will be encouraging all employees to have their flu vaccination, which is provided free of charge.
