COVID-Safe Guidelines are here!
Welcome to the latest Live Entertainment Industry Forum (LEIF) newsletter which marks the official launch of our industry COVID-Safe Guidelines.
The LEIFCOVID-Safe Guidelines have been prepared by a network of industry experts from more than 50 organisations and include industry-wide measures regarding cleaning and sanitisation, crowd management, physical distancing plans, health monitoring and contact tracing.
The guidelines which can be found on the LEIF website: https://leif.net.au/guidelines have been developed in consultation with government and health agencies. Note, these guidelines should be viewed as a guide only to assist industry in their preparation to return to live. Each venue/event organiser is responsible for developing their own risk management plan relevant to your business and jurisdiction (State/Territory).
We have been working hard behind the scenes with governments and health officials to build confidence in the industry’s preparedness to operate safely, flexibly and sustainably during its gradual return and the guidelines released today are a comprehensive, flexible, all-of-industry re-opening and risk management strategy to do just that.
This is a huge body of work and we couldn’t have done it without the collaborative efforts of our industry. Sincere thanks to all the individuals who spent much of their time and effort pulling this together.
The LEIF COVID-Safe Guidelines have been released ahead of the Event Summit, taking place on 14th October where LEIF will unveil, along with partners EY, a first ever study to assess the economic contribution of the live entertainment industry in Australia. Titled ‘The economic cost of COVID-19 on Australia’s Live Entertainment Industry’ the report will detail the impact of COVID-19 on the sector and the economic outlook for recovery.
The Event Summit is a FREE unique one-day conference for the event and experience industry which brings together the industry’s most innovative and diligent stakeholders to share best practice experiences, insights, tips and techniques.
