Check In CBR rolls out across the Northern Territory


Released 25/11/2020

The Check In CBR app is heading north, rolling out across the Northern Territory from 30 November.

Following the successful launch of the Check In CBR app in September, ACT Health has been working closely with their Northern Territory counterparts to implement the platform across the NT.

The Territory Check In app will use the same platform with its own branding to provide a contactless, secure and simple way for customers and visitors to sign into venues. Details will be securely stored by NT Health to ensure contract tracing can occur quickly and effectively if it is required.

Minister for Health Rachel Stephen-Smith said ACT Health developed the app for the NT and will provide ongoing support to deliver and maintain the app.

“This is another example of our commitment to taking a united approach with other states and territories in our joint fight against COVID-19. We will continue to share ideas, programs and processes that protect the health and safety of Canberrans and other Australians.

“The Check In CBR app was designed from the ground up by the digital team in ACT Health. Throughout the pandemic, this team has responded quickly and effectively to the challenges presented by the virus.

“The adoption of this app by the Northern Territory is a real testament to the team’s skills, expertise and innovative approach,” said Minister Stephen-Smith.

In the ACT, Canberrans have downloaded the app 68,400 times and 2,000 venues have registered.

ACT Health Chief Information Officer Peter O’Halloran said the app was developed with the community and local business in mind, ensuring it is fast, easy, secure and free to use.

All data is stored directly with ACT Health for 28 days from check in and then deleted if not required for contact tracing purposes.
