Kiosk check-in and alternative record keeping methods

• Current requirements to provide an alternative record keeping method for members of the public (or employees) that do not have a smart phone remain. This could include a kiosk option (via a tablet) or, as a last resort, pen and paper. • The Kiosk check-in service in the Service Victoria app allows venues to check-in guests who don’t have a smartphone or can’t use the QR code service. The Kiosk enables staff to enter a customer’s name and contact phone number electronically, making it easier for contract tracers to contact people quickly if an outbreak occurs.

Displaying QR codes

• All workplaces who are required to use QR codes must display the QR code in a prominent location at each point of entry • In addition to the above requirement, hospitality venues must also display QR codes at all points of sale (e.g. cash register) and at each table. Staff at hospitality venues must request a customer check-in using the QR code at a point of entry, a point of sale (e.g., salesperson at a cash register) or a point of service (e.g., waiter attending a table). • Small retail facilities with less than 2000sqm of publicly accessible space (including market stalls) must also display QR codes at all points of sale. Staff at small retail facilities must also request that customers check-in at point of service, for example when greeting a customer after they’ve entered the store, or at the cash register. • All markets, as well as large retail facilities (i.e. retail facilities with more than 2000sqm of publicly accessible space must also display QR codes at all points of sale. Staff at markets and large retail facilities must also request that customers check-in at point of entry (e.g., a staff member must greet customers at the entrance and request they check-in).
