As of Friday, March 4, 2022, the following face mask rules will be instigated as per the Queensland government:
Masks will no longer be required indoors, except in hospitals, residential aged care, disability accommodation, prisons, public transport, airports and on planes.
Masks will no longer be required in schools, including for staff, students and visitors.
Masks will still be recommended whenever you can’t social distance.
Until the aforementioned face mask rules are officially implemented, you must wear a mask indoors everywhere in Queensland. This includes:
All indoor workplaces
Public transport and rideshare
Supermarkets and retail shops
Hospitality venues including pubs, clubs and cafes
Cinemas and theatres
Indoor stadium, sports arena or sports centre
Gyms and sport activities
Vulnerable settings like hospitals and aged care

You do not need to wear a mask outdoors if you can remain 1.5 metres away from others that are not members of your household.
Children under 12 years and people affected by a medical condition or disability do not lawfully have to wear a face mask. See exceptions from wearing face masks.
