VerifiedHi! You’re speaking with John Melis, a solicitor in Australia.
If you are not in agreement to take the vaccine, your best situation is to try and work with HR department to come to a resolution. If you cannot come to resolution, and you consider you have not received the proper notice regarding the employers actions for termination, you could raise a discrimination claim. That discrimination claim can be brought through the fair work commission or the federal circuit court.
