A new, free, check-in app which makes it much easier for Queensland’s hospitality businesses and their customers to stay COVID safe rolls out state-wide from today.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Check In Qld app has been extensively trialled over the last few weeks and has come out tops.
“It simplifies compliance with Public Health Directions for all hospitality venues, with patrons and customers able to self-check-in and have their information stored securely.
“Once people have used the Check In Qld app at one business, it remembers your details, saving you time in the future and providing easy on-going, check-in across all participating venues.
“The more businesses sign up, the better it will be for all of us.”
Users will be able to sign in at certain venues by scanning a QR code — but only at places that are participating in the program.
Participation is not mandatory, and it has only been tested in the hospitality industry, but other businesses can use it, too. The business does not need to do anything once customers have used the app to enter their details. If there is a need to conduct contact tracing, Queensland Health will have ready access to the information collected.
The app is available for download on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
