What support
are we providing?
The RIW System will support RIW
participants in NSW and Victoria worksites with existing
functionality to view and validate a RIW cardholder’s COVID-19
vaccination status. The system will allow employers to record
COVID-19 vaccination status on the RIW workers profile, through an
upload of a verified COVID-19 declaration form, held as an employer
based competency.
IMPORTANT:
Only the
COVID-19 declaration form is to be uploaded as evidence against
the employer
based competency in the RIW System. This is to
ensure compliance with the existing RIW Program Privacy Policy and
RIW Permission Access Agreement.
The following COVID-19
Declaration Forms are to be used for recording COVID-19 status in
the RIW system:
Please note any COVID-19
vaccination and testing related employer based competencies created
prior to this guideline (24/9/2021) will be required to be removed
from the RIW system to ensure compliance with privacy requirements.
Effected companies will be instructed on how to remove any
previously created employer based competencies relating to COVID-19
status.
How should the COVID-19 competency be implemented?
Premium Employer will be required
to create new employer based competencies, within the RIW System
for recording COVID-19 status.
For example in Victoria, John
Holland will use:
- JH – COVID19 – 1st
Vaccination
- JH – COVID19 – 2nd
Vaccination
- JH – COVID19 –
Medical Exempt
RIW Cardholders will be required
to complete the declaration form for either NSW or Victoria,
depending on the worksite’s state location and provide evidence of
vaccination or testing for sighting by the Premium Employer
worksite representatives. The worksite representative will then
verify the documentation supplied and ONLY the declaration form
will be uploaded into the RIW system as evidence.
Please note: This interim process
only relates to Victoria and NSW rail worksites that have elected
to use the RIW System, to record COVID-19 vaccination or testing
status for RIW Cardholders.
