SDG Detail

Is business or government responsible for getting Australia to 80% vaccination?

None

Project description

As Australia edges closer to vaccination rollout targets needed to open international borders, big businesses have been stepping up � but is it their responsibility to speed up the government's plan? When Sydney re-entered lockdown in 2021, a meeting was called by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg with corporate leaders including Wesfarmers (who own Bunnings, Officeworks, and Kmart), Qantas, Virgin, Commonwealth Bank, and Telstra to discuss the vaccination rollout. On the agenda was figuring out what role businesses could play in boosting the slow rates of vaccination take-up in Australia.
