Covid-19 Geelong Veterans Vaccination Policy

1. Whilst clubs will have established rules using the Services Victoria app etc., there may be a need for us to collect, or store, member vaccination information.  We are currently storing information on our member data base. 
2. As individual members we will each be expected to comply with whatever the access/entry requirements of the clubs we visit are. 
3. In the weeks prior to an event, we will publish the requirements of the club we are about to visit.  This will be published on the GDVGA website, and noted on the timesheet.
4. We strongly encourage you all, as members of the Geelong Veterans, to be ready to provide whatever proof is required by the club, that we are visiting.  It will not be our place to dispute any of the requirements of the clubs we visit.  
5. If anyone is uncomfortable with what a particular club requires then the choice of whether to play or not is with the individual.

2022 Fixture is available for viewing on the fixture page.
Costs for most venues to be finalized.
