The Service NSW app is being retooled to include a QR code to allow customers to check in at hospitality venues across NSW, ensuring contact tracers can quickly access customer details and keep people safe.
A trial will be conducted at hospitality venues in Dubbo and those owned by Merivale from this week, prompting customers to use the Service NSW app to check-in on arrival.
Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said the technology would make life easier for business and customers.
“Digital record keeping is a no brainer – it’s safer, saves time and helps officials for contact tracing purposes,” Mr Dominello said.
“Any registered COVID Safe business will be issued a unique QR code which customers can scan using their Service NSW app. It will also be used for customer and staff check-ins in over 100 Service NSW Centres across the state.
“This automatically captures the date, time and location, and securely stores them on a Service NSW database for 28 days for the sole purpose of COVID tracing in the event of an outbreak.”
The purpose of the trial is to test and refine the technology to ensure it delivers the best experience for customers and businesses while aiding the work of the NSW Health contact tracing team.
More than five million customers have a MyServiceNSW Account and approximately 1.7 million customers already have the Service NSW app on their mobile phone.
NSW businesses are reminded to complete a COVID-safety plan, register their business as COVID-safe and observe the health advice regarding physical distancing, hygiene and staying home if unwell.
