It is important during this time that Tasmanian Government resources are not used to communicate political material. As such, no political or election material will be placed on this site.

COVID-19 safety at events

Events are an important part of our community. They contribute to our culture, economy and connectedness. COVID-19 safety at events contributes to community confidence and safety.

Events in Tasmania are  no longer regulated by specific COVID-19 Public Health Guidelines.

This means there are no requirements for event organisers to submit COVID-19 safety plans and gain approval from Public Health to conduct their events.

However, events must still be conducted safely and in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of local government, workplace health and safety regulators, and others.

For the foreseeable future it is important to act to reduce the chances of COVID-19 spreading at an event.

Reducing the risk of COVID-19 spreading at an event is supported by:

  • Asking patrons and staff not to attend if unwell
  • Providing sufficient space at the event to enable patrons to keep a comfortable distance from each other
  • Supporting those who choose to wear a facemask
  • Enabling hand washing and sanitising
  • Cleaning and disinfecting
  • Ensuring the person or team responsible for safety consider and manage COVID-19 risk

Support materials

Public Health has developed guidance to help event organisers to manage COVID-19 safety.

This supports event organisers to understand and implement key actions for COVID-19 safety at events and make the health and safety of staff and patrons the priority.
