Each state and territory has its own guidelines and restrictions. In some states allied health businesses are required to have a QR code, but there are some exceptions. It would be prudent even if a QR code is not required to maintain clear records of visitors to your practice, or your movements if you are a mobile practice to assist with contact tracing if required. Private practice owners are encouraged to keep abreast of the current rules and restrictions for their state, and if there are specific questions for their business to contact the relevant body in their state for advice.
