Government requirements as at 14 December 2021
We remind you that under the Contact Tracing Direction, every person 16 years of age or older attending a range of businesses, organisations and events (including staff) is required to provide their information for contact tracing using the free Check in TAS app.
Operators of the relevant locations are required to register with Check in TAS and prominently display the Check in TAS QR code at all entrances to the premises.
If anyone does not have or cannot use a smartphone or the Check in TAS app, they may be checked in by another person in their group, or by the operator or staff at the premises. If no suitable device is available, their details may be recorded with pen and paper.
Businesses are permitted to refuse entry to a person who does not provide the required information.
More information, including when and how staff may manually record contact information, is available at www.checkin.tas.gov.au.
