Health workers in the Australian state of Queensland who were sacked due to a COVID-19 vaccine mandate are now welcome to “reapply” according to the state’s health minister.

This decision follows the Supreme Court of Queensland ruling that the COVID-19 vaccine mandates on police officers and ambulance workers were unlawful under section 58 of the Human Rights Act.
