Further to yesterday’s announcement, it is evident that the key to moving towards recovery is the vaccination of our broad community and, more specifically, vaccination of Victoria’s building and construction workers. 

Our sector is uniquely placed to deliver a comprehensive response to COVID-19 and lead industry vaccination initiatives.

The Master Builders Victoria Council of Management recently voted unanimously to support the promotion of vaccinations for our sector, and we will help deliver a vaccinated industry. 

Given the increasing importance of getting our industry vaccinated, we are seeking financial contributions from our members to support a vaccination advertising campaign targeted at workers in our sector. 

We do not make this request from members lightly. 

MBV research shows that elements of our industry must be encouraged and reminded of the outcomes of vaccination: staying open and staying in work. 

We need your support, and your organisation’s support, to encourage our industry to vaccinate.

We are proposing a simple message to be widely advertised, such as via billboards, social media and video etc.: 
 

“Get the jab done: for you, your workmates and Victoria” 

Many of our members have already confirmed their participation in this campaign.

If you want to get involved and make a contribution, no matter how small, please contact Melissa Greenall, Executive Director Growth and Relationships on 0438 293 605 or [email protected] for further information. 

Please note that places on this campaign will be allocated on a first in, best dressed basis, so please respond before 6 September 2021. 

We know that despite the devastating impacts of COVID-19, the Victorian building and construction industry continues to show its extraordinary strength and resilience as a community. 

We hope that this new campaign will galvanise our community to move forward on the path to a COVID-19 industry recovery.
