Check for the green tick: COVID-19 digital certificate

People will be required to show proof of their COVID-19 vaccination to enter a variety of businesses and to receive certain services across Victoria.

Businesses, venues and facilities with electronic record keeping requirements must use the Victorian Government QR Code Service to check-in customers, workers and visitors.

Businesses must ensure customers have checked in correctly and verify their customers’ vaccination status.

To do this, if the customer has correctly uploaded their COVID-19 Digital Certificate to their Service Victoria app, you will be able to see their vaccination status together with their check-in details.

A confirmed check-in via the QR code will continue to display a green tick.

Customers who either don’t have a smartphone or need help to check in and prove their vaccination status can do so by presenting an official hardcopy of their vaccination certificate together with the Victorian Government QR Code Service Kiosk check-in option.

The state government’s roadmap states businesses need to ensure staff are fully vaccinated. If not, they may not be able to open, or operate with eased capacity limits.

A business that allows unvaccinated workers on site faces a penalty of between $21,808 and $109,044.
