One of Australia’s largest public health services has received the go-ahead by the Federal Court to take disciplinary action, including dismissal, against a group of nurses who failed to meet Victoria’s mandated vaccine deadline.

Around 90 nurses tried to block the action arguing they had the right to be consulted about Monash Health’s mandatory vaccination directive.
