Vaccine consent, hesitancy and refusal, and supporting clients with intellectual disability

The Australian Government is hosting a webinar on 7 December for disability service providers on issues of vaccination consent, hesitancy and refusal that can arise when supporting clients with intellectual disability.

An expert panel will address questions, including:

• how can you approach conversations around vaccine hesitancy and refusal with families of people with intellectual disability

• what is the process for a disability service provider to ensure consent from a person with intellectual disability, and

• what is the role of disability service providers in identifying substitute decision makers?
