Up to one million Victorian workers face losing their jobs if they have not chosen to be vaccinated after a COVID-19 vaccination deadline set by the Daniel Andrews state government came into effect on Nov. 26.

Authorised workers from 33 industries and sectors including the sports, education, manufacturing, the arts, community, entertainment, justice, utility services, transport, retail and religious organisations were required to have two doses of a COVID-19 vaccination by Friday, Nov. 26, under the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination (Workers) Directions Health Order (pdf).
