Compulsory Changes to Contact Registers for all Clubs as at 24 December

Published Mon 21 Dec 2020

From Thursday 24 December 2020, the Queensland Government will require all businesses (including clubs and associations) to implement electronic registration of participants attending a facility or event. Paper registration of attendees will no longer be sufficient to meet contact tracing requirements. COVID Safe industry plans will be updated to reflect these changes early in the new year. The Queensland Government will be conducting a compliance blitz including spot checks and inspections as an additional safeguard for the community. All clubs and members of the fencing community are reminded of the importance of complying with existing health requirements, particularly with regards to social distancing, hand and equipment hygiene, infection control measures, and contact tracing.

The information you must collect includes:

  • full name

  • email address (or residential address if email not available)

  • phone number

  • the date and time period of visit (time in and time out)

There are a number of free QR code apps already in use however it is your club's responsibility to ensure that whichever app you use complies with collection and storage of data requirements.

This one is recommended by the state government - https://safevisit.com.au/
This one has been used by other sports all year - http://www.restaurantroll.com/
 
It is important that we all continue to remain vigilant in our response to this crisis to help ensure the continued safety of our community.
