I wish to advise members that after careful consideration, the Committee has resolved to rescind Kooyonga’s COVID-19 Vaccination policy, effective Wednesday 22 June 2022.
Committee has reviewed the COVID-19 policy on a monthly basis since its introduction in November 2021, taking into account Government advice and restrictions as well as our duty of care to staff and members.
Committee and management believe now is the appropriate time to remove the mandate given our decision over recent months not to introduce a booster requirement for anyone accessing the Club as well as the absence of similar policies in the vast majority of clubs and public venues.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members and staff for the manner in which they have supported the government and Club guidelines and restrictions which has assisted in enabling the reopening of our economy and collective liberties.
The Committee will continue to review the COVID-19 situation and provide additional guidance as circumstances change and warrant such guidance.
We continue, subject to individual medical advice, to encourage members to book and receive their booster shots when due and to continue to adhere to the social distancing, and other guidelines to restrict the transmission of COVID-19 and not to attend the Club if they have any symptoms to keep members and their families safe.
