COVID UPDATE as of 18th November 2021

• On 18 November 2021, the Victorian Government released the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination (Workers) Directions (Directions).
• The Directions, place obligations on employers in relation to relevant workers who are, or may be, scheduled to work outside their ordinary place of residence on or after 26 November 2021.
• The obligations include that relevant workers are required to have:
  • Received your second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, or
  • Have a medical exemption evidenced by an authorised medical practitioner.
• If you have any queries in relation to the Directions, you should seek your own independent legal advice.
• We require you to ensure you are complying with the Directions, and that if you are attending MTM’s sites you have conformed to them.
• Can you confirm that you are complying with the Directions?

If no

• I’m afraid we are unable to allow you to enter and will ask that you vacate the premises.

The Metro Academy has implemented risk mitigation strategies based on guidance provided by our Chief Medical Officer. Non-essential training has been deferred, or online training has been offered as a suitable alternative. Where necessary face-to-face training continues when core rail training is required, and skills must be demonstrated so the integrity of assessment requirements are maintained.

Where possible the Metro Academy adheres to the social direction provided. Metro Academy has a high risk COVID-19 safe plan in place.

Building and maintaining top class skills and capability is a top priority for the global railway industry. This is the very reason for the establishment of the Metro Academy.

With access to unrivalled knowledge of Melbourne’s metropolitan railway and backed by Hong Kong’s MTR, which is arguably the best engineered railway in the world, the Metro Academy offers Australia’s railway workers and contractors access to superior training opportunities.

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) delivering both nationally recognised units of competence and purpose built non-accredited training programs, the Metro Academy is well positioned to provide the industry with fit for purpose training solutions.
