From 6am on Thursday 15 April 2021 restrictions have eased across the state.

Our Industry is operating under the Chief Health Officer’s updated Restrictions on Businesses, Activities and Undertakings Direction (No. 18). 

Our Hotel Industry COVID Safe Plan is still in the process of being updated.

Note: The CHO Direction (No. 18) prevails over the Industry COVID Safe Plan to the extent of any inconsistency.
