Health and safety are paramount at AusIMM

Health and safety is paramount at AusIMM and we appreciate your compliance and understanding to help deliver COVID-safe events. We work closely with venues and suppliers, in line with government advice, to ensure your health is protected.

Vaccination

• In line with Government COVID regulations and for safe attendance, we request that all attendees have an ‘up to date' vaccination status. For some events, such as site tours, proof of vaccination may be a requirement. Patrons of hospitality venues no longer need to show their vaccination status before entering, with QR code check-ins no longer required.
• For definitions on contacts and current restrictions, rules and requirements for COVID in each state, visit the relevant government website.

Mask wearing

• Please note that in some locations, such as site tours, masks and other PPE may be required to be worn.

Physical distancing

• Event capacity and physical distancing will align with the State Government and venue density limits.
• We encourage other forms of communication to help limit certain actions like handshakes or high-fives that are common at many events.

Hygiene and cleaning

• Work with venues on increased cleaning and having sanitiser available.
• Where possible, provide instructions on proper hand hygiene onsite at events.
• Introduce contactless processes, such as QR code scanning for name badges at registration and implement the reduction of high touch materials.

Wellbeing of attendees

• We will follow all Federal and State Government guidelines along with public health advice on current COVID-19 restrictions.
• If attendees have any symptoms of COVID-19 or are unwell in any way, we ask that they please follow Government advice, including to seek medical attention, get tested and isolate.
• Ask attendees to reconsider their attendance at the event if they have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or had direct contact with an individual diagnosed with COVID-19 recently.
• Where possible, display signage outlining COVID-19 requirements (such as mask wearing) at events.

For the latest advice and information, please visit the Australian Government Department of Health website and/or the State Government’s Department of Health website for your state. Individual State Governments may have additional vaccination mandates which apply for those working in critical and/or high-risk industries.
