Bunnings and Officeworks stores could become vaccination centres

A COVID jab and a Bunnings snag could be the future as big businesses rally to help speed up the nation's vaccine rollout.

The proposal hinges on a current model under which companies leverage experienced providers, like nurses, to offer flu shots.

The nation's corporate leaders met with Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on Wednesday to discuss how and when COVID vaccines could be offered in the workplace.

Westfarmers CEO Rob Scott told 2GB the timeline would depend on supply.

"The point that we all realise is the key constraint here is access to the vaccine," Mr Scott said.

"We can help with coordination, we can help create vaccine sites at some of our centres and some of the administrative works to bring this to life.

"We have many sites in our businesses, be it Bunnings Warehouse or Officeworks, or others that could lend themselves to be very convenient vaccine hubs particularly utilising car park spaces.

"We need to create as many opportunities, well-structured opportunities for people to get vaccinated."

Possible vaccine incentives were also pitched including offering frequent flyer points for travellers and rewards points for customers receiving a jab.

"We're very focused on making sure that we're making it easy and convenient for our employees to have time off to go and get the vaccine," Commonwealth Bank CEO Matt Comyn told 9News.

"One of the options that we've put forward is leveraging our workplace vaccination program when supply is available and to take the load off the health system.

"We all recognise the task ahead over the next six months or so, there's going to be a lot of work required as more supply becomes available."
