NEW SOUTH WALES
New South Wales , as we know , has been hit hard by covid-19 . As the state began to open up , based on its ‘ roadmap ’ that required 80 per cent of the community to be doubledose vaccinated , we asked the Caravan & Camping Industry Association of New South Wales for its position on staff of its member organisations returning to work .
“ The CCIA NSW will follow the advice of NSW Health and both the state and federal governments ,” marketing communications manager Roxane Turnbull told GoRV . “ We do not have a view alternate to this .”
The association does not have a position on vaccinations , she said . Rather , it ’ s a matter for government .
“ CCIA NSW would be of the belief that all Health orders by government are law so must be complied with .”

WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Julian Barry , the CEO of Caravan Industry Association of Western Australia , has confirmed that its position is that member organisations should make up their own minds regarding whether or not staff should be vaccinated against covid-19 .
It ’ s the same position for vaccinations in general – this is a personal choice for the staff of member organisations and the Western Australian association would support them in their decision .
When it comes to staging public industry events , such as RV shows , the association “ works closely with the WA Department of Health and local councils to ensure we are compliant with their covid requirements , including detailed covid-safety plans ”.
“ As such we are governed by their requirements ,” Mr Barry said . “ We look forward to hosting shows and expos in a covid-safe way as outlined by the Health orders at the time . We will abide by all laws and requirements in order to comply and provide a safe venue for exhibitors , customers and staff .
