The casino giant has confirmed it will continue a vaccine mandate at its resorts across the country, including Southbank, even if coronavirus rules are eventually changed to allow unvaccinated punters back through their doors.The policy will come into effect at its Perth premises from the end of January next year and already applies in Melbourne and Sydney.The company said it made its decision after a month-long consultation with employees, unions and business groups.Crown Resorts chief executive Steve McCann said his business was duty-bound to stop any potential spread of Covid-19.“From the start of the pandemic, we have promised our employees that we will always put their health and wellbeing first,” Mr McCann said.“This policy is consistent with that – and consistent with our responsibility to care for not only our employees, but our guests, our partners and our investors’ interests.“We had overwhelming support for this from our stakeholders and thank them for working with us so constructively. “The mood has shifted in Australia over the last few months and people are recognising that we all have a part to play.”Crown Melbourne was recently put under strict conditional operations after it was found to be unfit to keep its casino licence.
