Customers have heeded advice and embraced the NSW Government\u2019s Service NSW Mobile app for checking in safely to venues, with more than 3 million app downloads already recorded.
\nMinister for Customer Service Victor Dominello welcomed the milestone and urged more customers to download the app and reap the rewards.
\n\u201cThe app is the keys to the front door for customers wanting to enter businesses. It simple to use and will help keep the community safe and the economy open,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\n\u201cSince 1 January hospitality businesses and hairdressers have been required to use the NSW Government\u2019s Service NSW QR code for registering customers\u2019 details. It is equally important for customers to do their part and download the app so the process is as seamless as possible.
\n\u201cThe app makes life easier for people \u2013 whether it\u2019s downloading a Digital Driver Licence or renewing vehicle registration \u2013 the technology saves people time.
\n\u201cIt only takes a few minutes to download the app and seconds to scan the QR code. Do yourself a favour and download it now.\u201d
\n100,000 businesses have registered customers with the Service NSW QR code, and there have been about 32 million COVID safe check-ins through the app, with 94 per cent of customers giving it the thumbs up.
\nFeedback received from contact tracers is that the Service NSW QR code is the most effective system in assisting NSW Health to protect the community.
\nIt also prevents the use of fake names as a customer\u2019s personal details are automatically captured via the Service NSW app when they scan their smartphone over the QR code.
\nPersonal information obtained by businesses is held securely by the Government and only used by NSW Health in the event of an outbreak. It is destroyed after 28 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
