According to the Queensland Government website, as of 1am on the 30th of August, it will be mandatory for many Queensland businesses to be registered for and use the Check in Qld app.
How Do I Register For the Check In Qld App?
The process to register your business for the Check in Qld app can take up to 3 business days, and must complete a separate registration for each business location/venue that you have.
The first step is to register your business using the Queensland Government Check In Qld app registration form – Click Here to Register
Part of the registration process will involve receiving a “starter kit”, which will contain a set up guide and a QR code poster. Once you receive the kit, make sure you download the Check in Qld app from the Google Play or Apple App store and create a business profile.
Your customers and guests will be able to scan your QR code to check in and register their details. You can ask your customers and guests to show you their successful check in screen, or their check in history screen.
If any of your customers or guests have trouble using the app or do not have a smart device, your staff can check them in using the business profile mode on the app.
