Westpac and the Commonwealth Bank have become the latest employers to make it mandatory for their employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, in a move that will affect around 76,000 workers across the country.

Westpac staff in NSW, Victoria and the ACT will be required to be fully vaccinated by December 1, and employees in other states will be required to be fully vaccinated to attend a workplace by February 1, 2022.

The bank said the new requirement is for the heath and safety of both its staff and customers.

Vaccines have been made compulsory across aged care, construction in Victoria, a range of customer-facing sectors that are now open again across NSW, and a few companies in the private sector like SPC and Qantas
