Just posting the information about the Privacy Act and the different apps
If needed for staff to feel confident they are doing the right thing - in the face of someone claiming that we are illegally collecting their contact details against the Privacy Act, the government has information against this argument - https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/covid-19/the-covidsafe-app-and-my-privacy-rights/
It also does not apply to any other contact tracing apps or QR codes. For example, if a business is required under a public health order to collect your personal information for contact tracing purposes, and they ask you to provide your details through a State or Territory government app or QR code, or through another app or QR code, this is not an offence as they are not requiring you to use the COVIDSafe app.
I promoted our online collection to a father last week in lieu of him entering the physical library.
