Signs such as this have become common in van parks around Australia .
SOUTH AUSTRALIA
We asked Stuart Livingstone , the CEO of Caravan & Camping Industries Association of South Australia , what the association ’ s position was on vaccinations for staff of member organisations .
“ We would encourage staff to get vaccinated , especially our staff for our events ,” he said , also confirming that he and his team are vaccinated .
“ We have been working closely with SA Health and implemented many protocols and tracking systems to manage covid at our February show . Both SA Health and SA Police reported that they thought our event was ‘ best practice ’ in regards to tracking attendance for all separate halls as well as covid marshal ratios . All this information was live through an app that we made , which sent SMS alerts for totals and ratios .”
QUEENSLAND
Queensland ’ s caravan and camping association , Caravanning Queensland , also confirmed that it takes no official position on vaccinations .
" We support business , lifestyle and the economy returning to normal as quickly and as safely as possible ,” CEO Jason Plant told GoRV .
“ We have been following all government directives throughout the pandemic and communicating all relevant advice to our members on a regular basis . We have implemented covid-safe event policies to make sure our events comply to health standards .
“ If the government decides to mandate a “ vaccinated attendees only ” policy for events and exhibitions in general , we will review relevant health directives in depth , and implement steps to comply where necessary .”
