Chief Health Officer public health directions

During a public health emergency, the Chief Health Officer can issue Public Health Directions to assist in containing, or to respond to, the spread of COVID-19 within the community.

Understanding the Directions

The ‘Understanding this Direction’ resources help you better understand the Directions and how they affect you and your community.

To slow the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Queensland Government is restricting the operation of non-essential businesses.

There are exceptions that allow some businesses to stay open such as hairdressers and barbershops who can open with no more than 1 person per 4 square metres with social distancing observed. Or cafes, restaurants, food courts and fast-food outlets who can open for takeaway or delivery.

The official public health direction is available here. This content was last updated on 1 May 2020.

As the owners of a new small business, we very much appreciate Xero for ease of use in processing business transactions. It has been the right choice for our accounting needs and has saved us much time and effort while we are busy with day to day running of a small cafe & catering business.

Succession is always complicated, especially the non-rural versus the rural however Wayne Turner was able to process this and bring valuable options to the table. Wayne kept us on track by discussing options broadly and then following up to guide us through the finer details. It was a lengthy process but we needed that time to consider all aspects properly and wholly.
