06.01.2022 COVIDSafe App Realeased! The COVIDSafe app is part of the government work to slow the spread of COVID-19. Having confidence we can find and contain outbreaks quickly will mean governments can ease restrictions while still keeping Australians safe. How COVIDSafe works?... When you download the app you provide your name, mobile number, and postcode and select your age range (see Privacy). You will receive a confirmation SMS text message to complete installation. The system then creates a unique encrypted reference code just for you. COVIDSafe recognises other devices with the COVIDSafe app installed and Bluetooth enabled. When the app recognises another user, it notes the date, time, distance and duration of the contact and the other user’s reference code. The COVIDSafe app does not collect your location. The information is encrypted and that encrypted identifier is stored securely on your phone. Not even you can access it. The contact information stored in people’s mobiles is deleted on a 21-day rolling cycle. Watch the following video made by ABC news to better understand how the app tracing works: https://abcmedia.akamaized.net//202004/NOLs_AppPKG_2604_10 When someone is diagnosed with COVID-19, state and territory health officials will ask them or their parent/guardian who they have been in contact with. If they have the COVIDSafe app and provide their permission, the encrypted contact information from the app will be uploaded to a highly secure information storage system. State and territory health officials will then: use the contacts captured by the app to support their usual contact tracing call people to let them or their parent/guardian know they may have been exposed offer advice on next steps, including: what to look out for when, how and where to get tested what to do to protect friends and family from exposure Health officials will not name the person who was infected.
