Resources for businesses
As holiday travel restrictions are lifted in NSW and the industry embarks on a new normal, tourism businesses are encouraged to prepare to welcome visitors by developing and implementing a COVID-safe plan that includes physical distancing and hygiene practices.
NSW businesses can now show their commitment to COVID safety by completing a COVID-19 Safety Plan, and registering as a COVID safe business.
Businesses are encouraged to visit the NSW Government’s COVID Safe Business webpage for guidance to:
- Complete a COVID-19 Safety Plan following the industry-specific or general guidelines provided (templates provided)
- Register as a COVID Safe business
- Show that the business is COVID Safe
Some businesses are required to complete a COVID-19 Safety plan according to the NSW Public Health Orders.
