Current COVID-19 Business Restrictions for QLD
We are currently in stage 2 (of 3) on the path to easing restrictions for business operations in QLD. This stage began on 1st June 2020 and it includes industry-specific advice to help you navigate your own business operations during this time.
From Stage 2 and beyond, some businesses will be able to offer services to a larger number of customers if they are following an approved industry COVID Safe plan. Some industry COVID Safe plans may allow for a higher number of people than current restrictions allow. Find a list of approved industry COVID Safe plans and those currently under consideration.
Stage 3 will begin on 10th July 2020 where, subject to further planning and review, interstate travel will be permitted and a maximum of 100 people* will be permitted for a variety of people-centred businesses, venues and events.
