COVID-19 vaccinations and the workplace
Syvannah Harper
Until recently, COVID-19 vaccinations were not mandatory for any workers working in Australia.
On 28 June 2021, the National Cabinet decided to mandate the first doses of COVID-19 vaccinations for all Aged Care workers.
On the same day, the New South Wales Government issued a public health order preventing workers employed in the NSW public sector, specified in the NSW Airport and Quarantine Workers Vaccination Program, from attending or providing services to a workplace if they have not received the first dose of the vaccine.
Queensland is yet to mandate the vaccine.
Can an employer require an employee to be vaccinated?
For employees who work in industries where COVID-19 vaccines have not been mandated, an employer may be able to require employees be vaccinated against the coronavirus in reasonable circumstances.
Whether or not an employer’s direction to an employee to be vaccinated is reasonable will depend on the facts of each case. Some of the factors that may be taken into consideration in assessing if the direction is reasonable include:
- if the employee is covered by an enterprise agreement or employment contract that includes a term allowing the employer to direct an employee to be vaccinated against COVID-19;
- if the employee is vulnerable to serious illness resulting from COVID-19 infection;
- if the employee is at risk of coming into contact with someone with COVID-19 during the course of their employment;
- if the employee works with vulnerable people, such as elderly people or immunocompromised people; and
- if the employee performs work that is of a critical nature and/or has an emergency function.
There may be legitimate reasons why an employee cannot receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Should this be the case, the employee should provide a medical certificate to their employer. Employers should take this evidence into account, however, it does not necessarily prevent an employer from requiring an employee to have the vaccine. In these circumstances, it may be lawful for the employer to refuse to provide the employee with work or, in exceptional cases, terminate their employment. CJM Lawyers strongly recommends employers seek legal advice prior to rolling out mandatory vaccination regimes.
What if I am dismissed because I cannot receive the vaccine?
Employees may have some protections under Australian anti-discrimination laws which generally prohibit discrimination against an employee on the basis of a protected attribute, such as a disability, pregnancy or religious beliefs.
Will I have to cover the costs associated with receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?
Where an employer reasonably directs an employee to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the employer may be liable for the associated costs. This will depend on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses associated with the vaccination, the time taken to obtain and recover from the vaccination, and the terms contained in the employment contract or any applicable industrial instrument.
Where an employee chooses to obtain the COVID-19 vaccination despite the employer not mandating the vaccine, there is no obligation for the employer to pay the employee to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
In these circumstances, if an employee does decide to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the employee should discuss with the employer if they can access any of the following options to allow the employee to attend a COVID-19 vaccine appointment:
- taking paid or unpaid leave;
- adjusting the employee’s hours of work to arrive at work later or finishing early; and
- working from home to assist the employee to attend a local vaccination centre.
What happens if an employee refuses to be vaccinated against COVID-19?
Where an employee refuses a reasonable direction to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the employer can take disciplinary action against the employee, which may include termination of employment.
When should you seek legal advice?
Employees should consider seeking legal advice before they refuse any direction from their employer to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Employers should consider seeking legal advice before mandating vaccinations and/or taking any action against an employee who has refused a direction to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Bought off-the-plan and the developer is trying to cancel your contract? Don’t assume it’s the end of the road. Buying property is exciting, but buying off the plan comes with a unique risk: you are committing to a home or investment before it has been built. If completion is delayed and the developer later tries to walk away from the contract, buyers can be left uncertain about their rights, their deposit and the property they hoped to secure. That issue was recently considered by the Queensland Supreme Court in a case involving Chevron One Apartments on the Gold Coast, Queensland. CJM Lawyers acted for one of the purchasers in successfully disputing the developer’s right to terminate. The Court declared the contracts valid and binding, reinforcing an important message for buyers: if you receive a termination notice, it is worth getting legal advice before assuming your contract is over. What Is an Off-the-Plan Property? An off-the-plan property is a property purchased before construction is complete. Instead of buying an existing apartment, townhouse or home, the buyer enters into a contract based on plans, specifications and development documents. This type of purchase can appeal to buyers who want to secure a property early, plan a future move, arrange finance over time or invest before a project is complete. However, because construction and registration can take months or even years, off-the-plan contracts often include strict timelines and conditions that buyers need to understand before settlement. What Is a Sunset Clause? A sunset clause sets a deadline for important steps in a development to be completed. In an off-the-plan contract, this may include registration of the plan, creation of title, completion of construction or settlement. If the deadline passes and the required steps have not happened, the contract may give one or both parties a right to end the contract. However, that right is not always automatic – especially where a developer is relying on the clause to cancel the contract. The wording of the contract, the reason for the delay and any relevant legal requirements all need to be carefully considered. A Recent Win for Property Buyers CJM Lawyers recently acted for one of the purchasers in Supreme Court proceedings concerning the Chevron One development on the Gold Coast. The purchasers had entered into off-the-plan contracts in 2021, with settlement to occur by dates set several years later. When those dates passed, the developer sought to end the contracts. The buyers refused to accept the terminations and took the matter to the Supreme Court. CJM Lawyers acted for one of the purchasers in successfully disputing the developer’s right to terminate. The Queensland Supreme Court declared the contracts valid and binding. Critically, the Court found no basis for allowing the developer to benefit from its own breach of contract. The developer's attempt to point to pandemic-related supply chain disruptions as justification for termination was also rejected. What Should Buyers Do If a Developer Tries to Terminate? If a developer sends you a sunset clause termination notice, do not assume your contract is over. Whether the termination is valid may depend on the wording of the contract, the reason for the delay, the timing of the notice and the steps taken by each party. You should seek legal advice as soon as possible if your development has experienced lengthy delays, you have received a termination notice, a developer is relying on a sunset clause, or you are unsure whether your contract is still binding. Getting advice early can help you understand your rights before you accept a refund, sign documents or make decisions that may affect your legal position. How CJM Lawyers Can Help CJM Lawyers can assist buyers with off-the-plan property disputes, sunset clause issues and proposed contract terminations. Our Litigation team can review your contract and supporting documents, assess whether a termination is likely to be valid, explain your options, negotiate with developers and represent you in court proceedings where necessary. If your developer is trying to cancel your off-the-plan contract, speak with CJM Lawyers before accepting a refund, signing further documents or walking away from a property you still want to secure.

Buying an aircraft can be an exciting milestone, whether it is for business, recreation or private use. But aircraft purchases are not like buying a car or boat. They involve technical records, regulatory requirements and airworthiness considerations that may not be obvious at first glance. Imagine purchasing an aircraft only to later discover it is not airworthy. If a buyer assumes the right checks have already been completed, they may be left facing unexpected costs, delays and legal uncertainty after settlement. It is an important reminder that what looks right on the surface may not always tell the full story. A well-presented aircraft is not necessarily compliant, airworthy or free from risk. Why a pre-purchase inspection matters A pre-purchase inspection can help identify issues with the aircraft’s condition, maintenance history and airworthiness before the buyer commits. It can also highlight questions that should be addressed in the sale agreement. The key is knowing what has been checked, what has not been checked, and what protections are in place if something is discovered later. Things to consider before purchasing an aircraft Arrange an independent inspection before committing to the purchase. Review key records , including logbooks, maintenance history and relevant compliance documents. Confirm the aircraft’s airworthiness status rather than relying on assumptions or verbal assurances. Use a written sale agreement that clearly sets out the terms, inclusions and inspection rights. Seek advice before signing , particularly if finance, insurance, ownership structures or regulatory issues are involved. What if problems are discovered after purchase? If issues are discovered after settlement, the buyer’s options will depend on the contract, what was represented before the sale and the nature of the defect. These matters can become complicated quickly, especially where technical aircraft records and regulatory requirements are involved. How CJM Lawyers can help At CJM Lawyers, our aviation law team assists with aircraft sale and purchase agreements, due diligence, ownership structures, finance and security arrangements, leasing, regulatory issues and disputes. If you are thinking about buying an aircraft, we can help you understand the legal considerations before you commit. If you have already purchased an aircraft and something has gone wrong, we can help determine your options and advise on the best way forward.

September is a timely reminder to pause and ask a simple but important question: does your Will still reflect your life today? For many people, making a Will is one of those important jobs that sits on the “I’ll get to it one day” list. Others may have a Will in place, but it was prepared years ago and has not been reviewed since. The challenge is that life rarely stays the same. Relationships change, families grow, property is bought or sold, businesses evolve, and financial arrangements can become more complex over time. Why reviewing your Will matters A Will is not just a document for later in life. It is an important part of planning ahead and making sure your wishes are clearly recorded. It allows you to decide who should receive your assets, who should administer your estate, and how you would like important personal matters handled. Having a valid and up-to-date Will can also make things much clearer for your loved ones at an already difficult time. It can reduce the risk of confusion about who should make decisions, who should benefit from your estate, and how your wishes should be carried out. When should you review your Will? It may be time to review your Will if you have recently: married, separated or divorced welcomed children or grandchildren bought or sold property started or sold a business moved into a blended family arrangement experienced a significant change in your finances It is also worth checking whether your superannuation nominations, enduring power of attorney and other estate planning documents still work together with your Will. What your Will may not automatically cover One common misconception is that a Will automatically covers everything you own. In reality, assets such as superannuation, jointly owned property, trusts, company interests and life insurance may need separate consideration. Without the right planning, there can be uncertainty, delays, disputes or outcomes that do not reflect what you intended. How CJM Lawyers can help At CJM Lawyers, our Wills and Estates team can help you prepare a new Will, review an existing Will, update your estate planning documents, and consider how your broader arrangements fit together. Whether your circumstances are simple or more complex, we can provide clear, practical guidance to help you plan ahead with confidence and give your loved ones greater peace of mind.
