Get your check-in history

All Victorians are required to check-in to locations as part of the state’s efforts to stop the spread of Covid.

You can now access a record of your check-in history, after the Service Victoria smartphone application was updated over the weekend.

Melina Bath, the Nationals member for Eastern Victoria said her party recently put forward the idea to enable people to access their own QR code history to speed up and strengthen contact tracing.

“Allowing Victorians to securely access their own QR Code check-in history gives us more control over our own information and will help speed up a contact tracing process that’s still too slow,” Ms Bath said.

“Not everyone can remember exactly where they were five, six, seven days ago, exactly what shop they visited, at exactly what time.

“As exposure sites are identified and published when outbreaks occur – Gippslanders can now immediately do a quick cross check on their digital movements.”

The Nationals have criticised the government for not allowing access to the data earlier and using statewide lockdown as a first response.

“Yo-yo’ing in and out of snap lockdowns isn’t a solution – it’s crushing jobs and livelihoods and it’s having a profound impact on mental health.

“All we're asking for is for the state government to apply some common sense, to be practical, and to be proportionate and also to show a little bit of compassion.

“Any improvements to outbreak management and contact tracing should be prioritised and not dismissed.”

The Nationals are also calling for the rollout of rapid testing, release of the public health advice informing the government’s decisions and a better targeted vaccination program to keep Victorians safe, while keeping the state open.
