West Australians (WA) who have refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are being denied entry to most public venues as tough new rules come into effect.

From Monday, proof of double-dose vaccination is required at all hospitality venues, including restaurants, cafes, pubs, bars and fast-food outlets for dine-in customers.
