Make the pledge

Welcome to the Great Aussie Vaccine Drive.

The drive is a group of prominent Australian businesses who have come together to champion the important role of employers in making it easier for their people to get vaccinated against COVID-19, if they choose to do so.

Businesses taking part in the Great Aussie Vaccine Drive have pledged to provide paid vaccination leave to all their permanent employees so they have more flexibility when scheduling and attending their vaccination appointments during the Government’s vaccine roll out program.

Leaders from Lendi Group, Prospa, Zip, Honey Insurance, Domain Group, Athena and Valiant Finance were the first to come together to launch the vaccine drive and are urging other businesses to join the pledge and consider ways they can support employees who wish to get vaccinated. Make the pledge today.
