COVID-19 Safety Plans are mandatory
Under Public Health Orders all non-food markets including artisan, clothing and craft markets, must complete a COVID-19 Safety Plan.
Food markets such the Sydney Fish Market or Flemington Markets and their regional equivalents, which are predominantly engaged in the wholesale distribution and sale of food produce, are outside the scope of these requirements.
Non-food markets should also consider the benefits of registering as COVID Safe.
Complete the plan in consultation with staff, then share it with them.
Keep your plan up to date
You may need to update the plan in the future, as restrictions and advice changes.
You will need to have an up to date plan at your premises at all times and be able to show it to an authorised officer if requested.

- use the provided COVID-19 Safety Plan to address the checklist of matters for non-food markets including artisan, clothing and craft markets
