State government reminds hospitality businesses and hairdressers they need to use the Service NSW QR code system come January 1.
The New South Wales Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello has lauded the state’s QR code venue check-in system, prior to it becoming mandatory for hospitality businesses and hairdressers when 2021 arrives. If businesses do not use the Service NSW QR code check-in system, they face AU$5,000 fines, closure of the business for a week, and should the venue further fail to comply, potentially a month’s closure. „The consequences of non-compliance and complacency when it comes to electronic record keeping are serious — it puts people’s health at risk and destroys jobs,“ Dominello said. „The feedback we’ve received from contact tracers is that the Service NSW QR code is the most effective system in assisting NSW Health to protect the community. „Our QR code also prevents the use of fake names as a customer’s personal details are automatically captured via the Service NSW app when they scan their smartphone over the QR code.
