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 with an attendance of more than 500 people or have four or more public health risk factors - are required to submit a COVIDSafe Event Plan for review by the Victorian government. This COVIDSafe Event Plan must be approved before your event can take place.
Submit your COVIDSafe Event Plan
TIER 3 - events with 500 or less attendees per day and involve three or less public health risk factors - do not need to have their event plans reviewed by the Victorian Government. However, you must complete and upload a COVIDSafe event checklist and declaration at least a week prior to the event going ahead.
