COVID-Safe Businesses
Under the Public Health Directions it is mandatory for some types of businesses to operate under a COVID Safe Industry Plan. For other businesses it is mandatory to complete a COVID Safe Checklist with COVID Safe training.
If the services your industry provides have previously not been restricted by Public Health Directions you can continue to operate as you are now, in line with the health guidance set out by the Chief Health Officer and Queensland Health.
Douglas Shire Council encourages local business owners to be proactive with their COVID-safe plans and stay up to date with the Queensland Government resources.
