I wouldn't have thought so.
I would expect the company to argue that by requiring all employees and contractors to be fully vaccinated, they have adopted a Health & Safety Policy that implements sufficient mitigation steps to make the risk of Covid-19 infection As Low As Reasonably Practicable.
An employee who refuses to be vaccinated would be in breach of his H&S Policy and would therefore be potentially liable to disciplinary procedures.
IANAL but I would expect them to argue like that
The counter argument would of course be that this H&S Policy requires employees to undergo an invasive medical treatment, which is contrary to employees' Human Rights.
It could easily be up to a Full Bench of the High Court of Australia to tell y'all which part of legislation takes precedence
