The Government has introduced mandatory record keeping at specified places and events. People responsible for these places or gatherings (referred to in this guidance as organisations) must now have systems and processes in place to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that each person aged 12 or over who enters the place or attends the gathering:
Scans the QR Code for the place or gathering; or
Provides a contact record that the person in control of the place or gathering collects. Please visit the Unite Against COVID-19 website for more information about the new requirements and to see if your organisation is required to comply with the order.
Organisations need to ensure that their systems and processes for record keeping comply with the Privacy Act 2020.
