COVID-19 Contact Registers – New Requirements
From 5 December 2020, the Western Australian government made it mandatory for certain types of businesses to maintain contact registers as a precaution should there be a future outbreak of COVID-19.
In response, SM TAFE has established contact registers for our live works facilities (Bentley Pines Restaurant, gym, and health, beauty and massage facilities), libraries and cafes. We have also established registers for reception and student services areas at all campuses, so that future students and visitors coming on site will be captured. At this stage, everyone (including staff) entering our cafes, libraries or events will be required to register.
To make this easier, QR codes for all relevant locations will be displayed at entrances, and you can download the SafeWA app to your phone/device to scan on entry to any of these venues. Anyone entering without scanning the QR code will be required to provide their contact details on a hard copy register.
