covid-19 response guidelines

 

One of the most important parts of organising our 2021 Forum is ensuring that every event is COVIDSafe. To do this, we’ve mapped out a rigorous COVIDSafe plan in accordance with the Public Events Framework* issued by the State Government of Victoria. 

But no matter how stringent our safety planning is, it can only be truly successful with your participation.

Being COVIDSafe is everyone’s responsibility—from our staff, to our speakers, to every visitor who attends.

The Living Cities Forum 2021 CovidSafe Plan falls under the Fed Square Covid Safe Plan  and the Fed Square COVID Event Guidelines. 

*Living Cities Forum 2021 is classified as a Tier 3 event within this framework.
