A recent study explored the impact of implementation of the Public Health Amendment (Vaccination of Children Attending Child Care Facilities) Act 2013 on child-care centres in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales (NSW).
The amendment requires child-care facilities to collect evidence of complete vaccination or approved exemption before allowing enrolment. Child-care centre directors were interviewed and felt overall that the amendment had been successfully implemented and was a positive step in improving vaccination rates, It did not significantly affect conscientious objectors.
