Western Australia expands mandatory SafeWA QR code COVID-19 register

Additional Western Australian businesses have been added to the list of premises that will be required to use the WA government's SafeWA QR code for COVID-19 contact tracing registrations from February 12.

These additional venues include retail venues such as supermarkets and shopping centres; commercial buses or vessels that have a capacity of 12 or more people; public and private hospitals; takeaway food and beverage services; and events with 500-plus patrons and functions such as weddings or corporate functions.

The SafeWA QR Code will also be made available to passengers using the Central Area Transit business in the "coming weeks", the WA government said.
