Queensland teachers and staff to get pay docked for 'failing to comply' with COVID vaccine mandate

 Queensland's Education Department is docking the pay of 900 school staff who did not get the COVID vaccine, saying that ignoring the mandate put others at risk.

Staff members including teachers, teacher aides, administration staff, cleaners and school officers will have a "small-scale temporary reduction of one increment of pay" for 18 weeks, the department said.

"Approximately $25-$90 per week gross, proportionate to the normal pay that a staff member receives," a spokesperson from the department said.

"The disciplinary penalty imposed on staff are individualised to each person's circumstances."
