1. Understand the Public Events Framework
Familiarise yourself with the Public Events including definitions, attendee limits, venue requirements and the return of public events phases.
2. Check the public event self-assessment tool
Complete the public event self-assessment tool by answering questions about the number of attendees and public health risk factors. This will determine the tier classification for your event.
3. Complete the required documents
Depending on the tier of your event, you will need to complete one of the following templates:
- COVIDSafe Event Plan - Tier 1 and Tier 2 events
- COVIDSafe Event Checklist - Tier 3 events
Only the above templates will be accepted when you register your event.
4. Register your event
Once you've completed relevant tier documents, register your public event. Remember to attach all the required documents.
- Tier 1 events must be registered 8-10 weeks before the event start date.
- Tier 2 events must be registered 4-6 weeks before the event start date.
- Tier 3 events must be registered 1 week before the event start date.
