COVID 19: What's new this week in Queensland

Industry Plan approved: The Industry COVID Safe Plan for Tourism and Accommodation, developed by the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC), has now been approved by Queensland’s Chief Health Officer and is available here for tourism and accommodation businesses.

The Industry Plan provides key principles and approved options for businesses to operate beyond the baseline restrictions. To comply with the Industry Plan, you must complete a COVID Safe Plan (there is a template within the Industry Plan document). There is no need to submit your plan for approval by Queensland Health.

There are also a number of additional approved Industry Plans that may also apply to tourism and accommodation businesses. If your tourism or accommodation business contains a restaurant, pub, winery, beauty salon or beauty services, swimming pool or gaming facilities you will need to visit the Approved Industry COVID Safe Plans webpage and ensure you are compliant with all relevant Industry Plans for all areas or activities of your business.

For a summary of the Tourism and Accommodation Industry Plan, please see this new fact sheet.

Good to Go stamp: With the launch of TEQ’s Good to Go campaign, tourism businesses can display the Good to Go stamp to assure travellers that they are offering a safe travel experience. Once you have the required COVID Safe documentation in place, you can download the 'Good to Go' stamp as well as the style guide from our campaign webpage.
