Changes to COVID-19 testing requirements

11 January 2022

Further changes have been made to Pandemic Orders in order to address current COVID-19 testing challenges.

A PCR test to confirm a positive rapid antigen test result is no longer required.

In addition, a density quotient of one person per two square metres has been reintroduced indoors for hospitality and entertainment venues – which will apply to members who operate food and drink facilities. There has been no change to face mask wearing requirements.

For more information, members should refer to a related member Bulletin, Further changes to COVID-19 testing requirements and outbreak management in Victoria. This communication was distributed to members on Monday, 10 January via email and is also available on the member website.

Members are also encouraged to contact the VACC OHSE Unit on 03 9829 1265 for assistance in relation to COVIDSafe Plans, or appropriate control and risk management.

The Chamber continues to engage with the Victorian Government and will keep members informed. In the interim, members seeking further advice or assistance can contact the VACC Workplace Relations team on 03 9829 1123 or ir@vacc.com.au.
