BUSINESSES MUST EMBRACE COVID SAFE MEASURES

NSW businesses must follow the State Government’s COVID safety warnings and public health orders or risk a penalty of up to $55,000.  

More than 117,500 COVID safety plans have been downloaded in less than a month but businesses also need to register to provide customers with confidence.

Any business found in breach of the public health orders will be held to account and could face a penalty of up to $55,000 or an on the spot fine of $5000.

A reminder that a breach of orders made under the Public Health Act 2010 is a criminal offence and attracts heavy penalties. In the case of any business, the maximum penalty is $55,000 and a further $27,500 penalty may apply for each day the offence continues.
