Attendance on the Queensland Parliament precinct – COVID vaccination information and restrictions

All invited guests and visitors to the Queensland Parliament precinct will need to provide proof of vaccination, via their Check-in Queensland app with a ‘green tick’. 

Attendee’s status will be checked by Parliamentary Security as they pass through security screening on arrival to the Parliamentary Annexe. If any guest or visitor is unable to provide this they will need to produce one of the approved documents, as outlined in the Speaker’s directive accessible on the Queensland Parliament COVID 19 Response webpage. 

In summary:

• No person can enter the parliamentary precinct unless they are fully vaccinated or exempt. This does not apply to young people under the age of 16.
• All visitors are required to check-in and prove their vaccination status via the ‘Check-in Queensland’ app or other accepted means.
• Persons exempt from vaccination are required to wear a mask and cannot visit any food or beverage service on the precinct.

Guests and visitors will be required to wear a mask whilst on the precinct. Witnesses will be permitted to remove their mask when addressing a committee during proceedings.

Visitors attending the public gallery to view proceedings are advised that they may be filmed by broadcast media and / or be included in photographs taken by Parliamentary Service staff for purposes including posting on the Parliament’s website or social media sites.

The Queensland Parliamentary Service is committed to protecting the images collected for this purpose in accordance with the Information Privacy Act 2009.
