TLC Wins Government COVID-19 Vaccination Contract

Building on the success of their in-reach vaccination program and the roll-out of rapid antigen testing in residential aged care homes and schools, TLC Aged Care has been contracted by the Commonwealth Government to administer on-site COVID-19 vaccinations.

This week, TLC signed an agreement with the Department of Health that will allow them to administer Government-funded COVID-19 vaccines in any setting, including workplaces and Government Departments.

TLC’s CEO, Lou Pascuzzi, says that COVID-19 vaccination and testing programs are the future for organisations that host high volumes of people at their locations. “As the state begins to reopen, vaccination against COVID-19 and rapid antigen testing are the primary tools available to Australian businesses and institutions to ensure the safety of their people.

“Over several years, our team at TLC Primary Care has developed a wealth of experience in administering COVID-19 vaccination programs and, more recently, COVID-19 testing regimes. The contract we have signed today allows TLC’s COVID-safe programs to administer Government-funded COVID-19 vaccines to businesses, government departments and institutions at their locations.

“In this fast-moving environment, several organisations have asked TLC to assist them with COVID-safe programs to protect their people and ensure that they can have a certainty of service continuity moving forward. TLC offers them a proven COVID-safe solution that our healthcare professionals with real-life experience can implement quickly and efficiently.

“My advice to any organisation that hosts large volumes of people at their locations is to invest in a COVID-safe program now. The 80% double-dose vaccination target is fast approaching, so this is no time to be complacent. The relatively small investment in a COVID-safe program will protect people and ensure that organisations play their part in returning our society to some sense of normality, avoiding lockdowns,” says Pascuzzi.
