Commencing on 25 April 2020, the Federal Government launched the COVIDSafe contact tracing app for smart phones.
From 7 August 2022, the use of the COVIDSafe app is no longer required to prevent or control COVID-19 in Australia [Privacy (Public Health Contact Information) (End of the COVIDSafe data period) Determination 2022]. No further information will be collected from the COVIDSafe app and the COVIDSafe app will no longer be available to download.
The COVIDSafe website recommends that the COVIDSafe app be uninstalled on all devices.
See Privacy Policy for COVIDSafe Application on the COVIDSafe website for more information.
