Transitioning from Paper Records to the Service NSW QR Code

17 May 2021

Use of the Service NSW QR Code became mandatory in January 2021, as part of the Public Health Order.     

Penalties apply for Businesses that breaching the Public Health Order, with fines ranging from $1,000 to $55,000. (This includes businesses found not to be using the Service NSW QR Code to check in all guests and visitors).    

Businesses (Girl Guides NSW, ACT & NT) can no longer accept or keep handwritten or digital records of visitors.    

ALL GUESTS AND VISITORS MUST CHECK-IN VIA THE SERVICE NSW QR CODE  

To make transitioning to using the Service NSW QR Code as easy as possible, we have created several How To Guides, and a Check-In List, to help you with using the Service NSW QR Code, App, and Webform for record-keeping. These can be located within the COVID-19 section of our website:

Ensure your Region, District, Unit, and/or Campsite COVID Safe  

It is more important than ever that we ensure everyone Checks-In via the Service NSW QR Code. Either via the Service NSW App or the Service NSW Webform.
