Event Registration Form
All events are required to complete and submit an Event Registration Form at least 12 weeks prior to the event.
Public events during COVID-19
If you are planning on running a public event, you will need to comply with the Public Events Framework.
In the Chief Health Officer’s directions, a public event is an organised public gathering for a common purpose which is conducted on a one-off or periodic basis, open to members of the public, publicly announced or advertised, and may be subject to a specific license, approvals or permits.
Public events include but are not limited to exhibitions, sporting events, festivals, fairs, parades, performances and trade shows.
Step 1: Read through the Public Events Framework to identify what tier your event falls into and all associated requirements.
Step 2: Register your public event
Step 3: Submit all required documents relevant to your tier.
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 events (events with more than 1000 attendees per day) are required to submit a COVIDSafe Event Plan to the Victorian Government.
All Tier 1 and Higher Risk Tier 2 events will need to have their events approved in order to proceed.
Lower Risk Tier 2 public events can take place without government approval if they meet the newly introduced lower risk threshold criteria under the Public Event Framework.
Outdoor events and indoor (seated) events will be designated a lower risk Tier 2 Event if they meet the following two criteria:
- The event has fewer than 5,000 participants/spectators and
- attendance must not exceed 75 per cent capacity limit of the venue.
Indoor (unseated) events must meet the following additional criteria to be designated a lower risk Tier 2 Event:
The event does not feature behaviours that present a greater COVID risk (singing, dancing, chanting or consumption of alcohol).
Lower Risk Tier 2 events still must submit a COVIDSafe Event Plan along with a complete COVIDSafe event attestation
- Tier 3 events (events with 1000 or fewer attendees per day) do not need to have their event plans reviewed by the Victorian Government.
However, you must complete COVIDSafe event checklist and declaration at least a week prior to the start of your event. The checklist is now part of the online registration form below and no longer needs to be uploaded as a separate document.
