WEDDINGS AND GATHERINGS
Social distancing and hygiene – wash your hands, social distancing with cheers and congratulations from a distance.
Every Western Australian needs to play their part to help stop the spread of COVID-19. This means following good hygiene habits and social distancing.
- Stay home if you’re sick. Do not go to work or school.
- Keep 1.5 metres away from others.
- Don’t make unnecessary physical contact with others. Avoid physical greetings, such as handshakes, hugs and kisses.
- Use tap and pay instead of cash.
- Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitiser.
- Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Use a flexed elbow or a tissue; if you use a tissue, dispose of it immediately and appropriately.
For more information see Australian Government advice for social distancing.

PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND VENUES
The Closure and Restriction (Limit the Spread) Directions, issued under the Emergency Management Act 2005, specifies a range of “prohibited gatherings” “affected places” and “prohibited activities” that are either restricted from operating, limits their activity or provides an exemption.
If a type of “affected place” or “prohibited activity” is not specifically listed in a Direction, then it can continue to operate as long as there is compliance with social distancing requirements.
A business owner/operator needs to consider the nature of their services and assess whether their services or premises are captured by the Directions.
