1. In the event of changes to Victorian COVID-19 policy – the Committee will respond with their COVID-19 Plan. This plan will outline how the Festival events will be run to help protect the health of everyone.
2. The Committee will ensure that all the measures in their Plan follow the current directives from both the Victorian State and Federal governments that are relevant to this sector.
3. As State and Federal government directives can change quickly and frequently during a public health crisis, the Plan will also change accordingly. These changes are most likely to include:
a. entry procedures on arrival at the venue
b. restrictions to audience numbers;
c. seating and distancing;
d. hygiene practices;
e. use of changing areas;
f. what to do while warming up or waiting to go on to perform.
Please check our Website regularly for the latest COVID-19 PLAN
