The Victorian Government has placed into effect from the 27th of March 2021 that all QR code providers must push contact tracing information from visitor management systems into Victoria’s Department of Health (DH) Contact tracing system.
If you are already using the existing QR code solution built by the Government your data will automatically be captured and sent to the centralised database. Most common for this QR code is hospitality including hotels and restaurants, cafes, hairdressers etc.
