COVID-19 Safety

The Fleet Conference Venue has implemented the following steps in relation to COVID-19 safety:

At the RNA we are committed to the health and wellbeing of all who visit the Royal International Convention Centre and Brisbane Showgrounds. We have meticulously reviewed our processes to ensure we continue to provide the highest levels of service and standards while providing a safe environment for all within our venue. COVID-19 Safe measures have been put in place to adhere to all Federal and State Government advice and directives, including the regular cleaning of our venues; readily available hand sanitiser; the QLD Check In app on entry and social distancing signage reminders throughout our venues. 

In addition: 

• Brisbane Showgrounds / Royal ICC clients will be required to ensure that the vaccination status of event patrons, event suppliers and event staff member is checked as they enter the venue / event. In accordance with the Queensland Government mandate every person over the age of 16 who attends an event at our venues must be fully vaccinated, as the Showgrounds is the state’s largest indoor / outdoor events venue. 
• All event patrons, event suppliers and event staff are required to check in via the QLD Check In app on arrival for contact tracing purposes.
• There is a mask mandate currently in place for all indoor settings. All patrons and staff are required to wear masks when attending indoor venues unless eating or drinking.
• Clients are to communicate key health messages to all attendees before and during the event.
• RNA Online Induction is to be completed by event organisers, external suppliers, exhibitors and volunteers.
