COVID safe requirements

Who is required to wear a face mask?

Face masks are not required to be worn in Queensland, including at schools and early childhood centres, except for close contacts or anyone following isolation requirements for confirmed cases of COVID-19. More information is available on the face masks page.

What are schools doing to keep our children safe?

Schools and early childhood services have a number of measures in place to create a COVID safe environment for our children and staff, including hygiene measures, cleaning, physical distancing and ventilation. More information is available on the creating a COVID safe environment page.

Who is required to be vaccinated for COVID-19?

There is no longer a requirement for workers attending an education setting, including parents, carers, workers and volunteers, to be vaccinated for COVID-19. State schools do not need to verify the vaccination status of visitors, including workers or volunteers, and the Check In Qld app  is not required to be used in schools.
