Residential aged care workers who go to work unvaccinated against COVID-19 will be fined up to $20,000 under a state of emergency order signed by WA’s Chief Health Officer today.

Andy Robertson, WA’s top doctor, signed orders which state that anyone who fails to comply with the directions could be fined up to $20,000.
