COVIDSafe Business Events Information

The MECC is looking forward to welcoming you back.

Our primary concern is the safety and well being of our clients and guests during challenging times like these. Our team is working diligently behind the scenes to manage and assess the impact of COVID-19, while actively supporting the business events sector.

 

Reimagine

The MECC has re-imagined each stage and touch point of the guest experience as guest and clients move through the venue safely.

Refresh

The MECC has refreshed its spaces to ensure guests attending the venue can experience a safe and comfortable event with the confidence that COVIDSafe measures have been considered and put into practice.

Reopen

The MECC will re-open with enhanced health and hygiene, physical distancing, training and compliance to provide the highest confidence in a safe return to the venue for our community.

  • A list of attendees with contact information in advance and a register of attendees at the time of the event
  • A list of back of house personnel, this includes event staff, performers, contractors or any other persons on site

Records are used only for the purposes of tracing COVID-19 infections. Data is captured and stored confidentially and securely.
