A nurse’s challenge against vaccine mandates for the state’s health profession has been rejected, according to a decision by the Civil and Administrative Tribunal (CAT) released on Oct. 25.

Danielle Davis is employed at Ballina Hospital, in northern New South Wales (NSW)—Australia’s most populous state—where she was fighting a government-mandated public health order and letter from the hospital director compelling her to receive the first dose of the vaccine by Sept. 30 and the second dose by Nov. 30.
