Check in Process for Current Dogs Victoria Events

Friday, 1 October 2021

It is a mandatory Government requirement that every person attending an event, must check in with the Services Victoria QR Code app via a smartphone. If unable to do so, assistance must be sought from a show official to do this on a mobile phone.

It is imperative that all clubs comply with this Government Regulation to ensure that all Dogs Victoria Events are able to continue during these trying times.

Those who refuse to abide by this process will be denied entry as it jeopardises the ability for Dogs Victoria to hold any future events.
