Tier 1 and Tier 2 public events (events with more than 1,000 attendees per day) are required to submit a COVIDSafe Event Plan to the Victorian Government.
All Tier 1 events will need to be approved by the Victorian Government before they can go ahead.
Tier 2 public events can go ahead without government approval if they can comply with the Public Event Framework’s settings. If your event can’t operate under the settings of the framework, it will need to be approved by the Victorian Government.
Tier 3 events (1,000 people or less) that can operate under the current COVIDSafe Settings and a venue or business COVIDSafe Plan, don’t need to be registered with the Government, although it is recommended.
If your Tier 3 event does not have a COVIDSafe Plan you will need to fill out and submit a COVIDSafe Event Checklist. Your event will still need to operate within the Restricted Activity Directions (Victoria). The checklist is now part of the online registration form below and no longer needs to be uploaded as a separate document.
To find out which tier your event is, visit the Public events homepage and use the self-assessment tool.
Event registration forms
The event registration forms have been updated to reflect the new Public Events Framework. Complete the relevant form below:
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 needing an exemption from the framework (needs a public health review).
- Tier 2 that complies with the framework (does not need a public health review, includes the Public Health Attestation).
- Tier 3 (includes the event checklist).
The Public Events Team in DJPR will review your application and will contact you if they need more information.
