SafeWA App use extended 

It is mandatory for most businesses and venues to maintain a contact register by collecting contact details of patrons attending their premises, including customers, staff, contractors, and visitors.

To assist businesses, the WA Government has developed a free app, SafeWA, which is a digital contact register system. SafeWA is an efficient and safe way to record patron and visitor contact details where they can check-in using the app. 

The use of this app is not mandatory, but it is encouraged. Refer to the Closure and Restriction (Limit the Spread) Direction (No.12) for a detailed list of particular businesses and venues.
