November COVID update: Small tweak to showroom procedures
Overnight we got a tiny tweak to our Covid Safe settings for Victorian workplaces, thanks to the latest tick that has appeared in our home state’s roadmap.

Scan, Tick, Mask
That’s it. They are the three current CovidSafe-related conditions of entry to Factory Sound.
- Scan the QR code to check in using the Services Victoria App
- Show a staff member your green “fully vaxxed” tick
- Please wear a mask in store
It’s just like any gig / event around town
Pretty much, our conditions of entry are the same as any gig or event you’ll be working on (or having fun at), for the foreseeable future.
The only thing likely to change any time soon, is that the mask-inside-shop directive may disappear mid December.
It’s great to see Melbourne open up again!
