My Vaccine Pass Advice for tertiary providers

Tertiary education can open

Tertiary education facilities can open, with public health measures, such as wearing face coverings strongly recommended.

Tertiary students can attend classes, lectures, labs, workshops, tutorials, and meetings in person.

My Vaccine Pass

Your tertiary provider may choose to require My Vaccine Pass for you to attend in-person learning (unless an exemption applies). Check with your provider about their requirements.

Children under the age of 12 years and 3 months do not need to provide a My Vaccine Pass to enter places with a vaccination requirement.

Scan in or keep a record of where you go

Scan the QR code or keep a record of where you go. This will help with contact tracing for any cases in your community.

Education when self-isolating

If you are sick, waiting for your COVID-19 test results or have been asked to self-isolate you should stay home, and not go to your educational facility.

Your school, kura, or tertiary facility should provide distance learning options if you need to stay home.

Talk to your education provider if you or your child needs to learn from home.

Student accommodation

Student accommodation can open. 

Accommodation providers can choose to require My Vaccine Pass for residents and staff.

Check with your provider about their requirements.

Students can travel back and forth between their home and their student accommodation.

At Orange you must wear a face covering in retail outlets and on public transport. We strongly encourage you wear a face covering everywhere else.

Keep up healthy habits to protect us

Even though we are a highly vaccinated country, COVID-19 can still spread in our communities.

To slow the spread of the virus, and continue to help protect you, your whānau, and your community, it is important to keep up the healthy habits we know.

  • Regularly wash and thoroughly dry your hands or use hand sanitiser.
  • Sneeze and cough into your elbow.
  • Keep your distance from people you do not know.
  • Clean or disinfect shared surfaces often.
  • If you have cold, flu or COVID-19 symptoms, stay home and get a test.
