COVID 19 COMPLIANCE 

VACCINATION AND CHECK IN

• Patrons won’t be required to have two doses or show their vaccination status before entering any venue, including physical recreation facilities.
• The requirement for staff and patrons of venues to check-in using the Service Victoria app will end, with operators not required to keep any attendance records or maintain a COVID-19 Check-in Marshal.
• The existing two-dose and three-dose vaccination mandates for workers are retained.

FACE MASKS

• Face masks will no longer be required in hospitality and retail settings, or at events of any size.
• Face masks will still be required on public transport and at airports – excluding airport workers who aren’t public facing – and in sensitive health, aged care and justice settings. 
• Face masks are still strongly recommended at stadiums or venues when you can’t physically distance.

QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION

• Close contacts will no longer have to quarantine – provided they wear a face mask indoors and avoid sensitive settings. They will also need to undertake at least five negative rapid tests over the seven days that would previously have been the self-quarantine period.
• People are exempt from testing or quarantine for 12 weeks if they’ve had COVID-19 – up from 8 weeks. 
• The essential requirement to isolate for seven days following a COVID-19 diagnosis is retained.

WORKPLACE CONTACTS

• Individuals will be required to notify their workplace contacts, in addition to informing their social contacts. 
• Workplaces won’t have to individually identify and notify each potentially exposed worker.
• It is recommended to work from home if you're a close contact exempt from quarantine.

EVENTS

• Events with more than 30,000 people will no longer require public health pre-approval.
