If you or someone you’ve been in contact with is diagnosed with COVID-19, the close contact information securely stored in your phone can be uploaded and used—with your consent—by state and territory health officials to quickly inform people who’ve been exposed to the virus.
• If you test positive for COVID-19, you can consent for your close contact information to be used by state and territory health officials to contact people who may have been exposed.
COVIDSafe app has been developed by the Australian Government Department of Health to help keep the Australian community safe from coronavirus (COVID-19).
Your device will take a note of contact you’ve had with other users by securely logging the other user’s reference code.
COVIDSafe uses the Bluetooth® technology on your mobile phone to look for other devices with COVIDSafe installed.
COVIDSafe is an Australian Government Department of Health initiative.
Together, let’s help stop the spread and keep ourselves and each other healthy.
