Business and Community Venue Requirements

To help work environments reduce the spread of COVID-19 transmission, all Victorian businesses and community venues are required to have a Victorian Government QR Code Service and COVIDSafe Plan.

Victorian Government QR Code Service

All Victorian businesses and community venues with onsite operations must register for the Victorian Government QR Code Service to check-in:

workers
volunteers
customers
clients
contractors, and
any other visitors on arrival.

This is important for contact tracing if there is a possible COVID-19 outbreak.

More information about the QR code service.

Make sure that the posters are displayed in an area that is easy for people to check-in.

COVIDSafe Plan

Businesses and community venues are also required to have a completed COVIDSafe Plan and apply the six principles for COVIDSafe workplaces:

practice physical distancing, where possible
wear a face mask
practise good hygiene
keep electronic records and act quickly
avoid interactions in enclosed spaces
create workforce bubbles.

A COVIDSafe Plan helps to protect staff, customers, visitors, and the community. It also prepares a business or community venue for suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the workplace.

A COVIDSafe Plan should be printed and completed and kept on-site at the workplace where it is easy to find.
