COVID-19 restrictions and COVIDSafe Plans

31 August 2020

Stage 4 restrictions are in place for metropolitan Melbourne and stage 3 restrictions are in place for regional Victoria and Mitchell Shire.

Businesses under Stage 4 restrictions can only operate for on-site operations if they are a Permitted Work Premises and have COVIDSafe Plans for each worksite.

Regional Victoria is in Stage 3 ‘Stay at Home’ restrictions to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) and a COVIDSafe Plan is advised for work premises.

A COVIDSafe Plan helps protect staff, customers and visitors. It also helps businesses prepare for a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 in the workplace. To help you prepare or update your COVIDSafe Plans go to Business Victoria.
