Bendigo Art Gallery, East Gippsland Art Gallery and Warrnambool Art Gallery are taking part in the Victorian Government’s Vaccinated Economy Trial. They will help test the systems and technologies that will allow Victoria to reopen safely and begin on the road to economic recovery.

From 11 October, all visitors over the age of 16 must be fully vaccinated and will need to provide proof of their vaccination status to attend the three participating galleries.  This is in advance of the state reaching the 70% double dose vaccination threshold, when significant parts of the economy will reopen only to the fully vaccinated. 

Acceptable proof of vaccination status (with proof of ID) includes: 

•    COVID-19 Digital Certificate uploaded to the Services Victoria app.
•    COVID-19 Digital Certificate uploaded to phone wallet
•    Official Australian Immunisation Register certificate
•    Printed COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate
•    Medical exemption with valid, original letter signed and issued by a specified medical practitioner class ID

Please note the following will not be accepted as proof of vaccination status:

•    Vaccine appointment card
•    Valid vaccination documentation without proof of ID
•    Negative COVID-19 test result
