COVID-19 Advisory: For visitors to the State Courts

COVID-19 Advisory for visitors to the State Courts

To minimise the time spent in crowded public spaces, we encourage you to use our website, e-services, call or write to us instead of visiting us, where possible.

As a precautionary measure, all visitors to the State Courts will be required to register with the SafeEntry system, complete a health declaration form and undergo temperature scanning at the entrance of the building.

Please adhere to the safe distancing measures put in place to minimise the risk of infection.

• Wear a mask on the court premises at all times
• Stand behind the tape markings on the ground when queueing
• Stand within the tape markings when using the lifts
• Only use seats that do not have tape markings

You will be denied entry into the court building if you:

• are experiencing any of the following symptoms: fever, respiratory symptoms (e.g. cough, runny nose, shortness of breath);
• are currently covered by a medical certificate (MC) for any of the above symptoms (even if the MC states that it is not valid for absence from court);
• are currently serving a Quarantine Order or Stay-Home Notice;
• have been in close contact with individual(s) in the last 14 days, who, at the point of contact, were:
  either serving a Quarantine Order or Stay-Home Notice; or
  confirmed to have been infected with COVID-19.

If any of the above applies, you should seek an adjournment for your court hearing or appointment via our online case management systems (refer to the e-Services below) or by emailing us. You will be required to provide the relevant documents such as the Home Quarantine Order, Stay-Home Notice or medical certificate, to support your request for the adjournment.
