Due to the ​COVID-19 vaccination ​requirements within Victoria, a new resource A discussion guide for medical exemptions has been created to support clinicians with this process.

This discussion guide is for general practitioners and other ​health professionals who may be entering into conversations about vaccines and are authorised to provide medical exemptions to vaccination. It is informed by research in vaccine communication, de-escalation, and clinical experience.

The research provides helpful conversational tips and strategies on managing any conflict if needed.

You can access the discussion guide ​here.
