FAQ

Are vaccinations required?

From Friday 25 February 2022, the AM no longer requires visitors to the AM to provide proof of vaccination status or medical exemption as a term of entry, in line with updated COVID-19 settings announced by the NSW Government.

While no longer mandatory, we continue to encourage everyone to get vaccinated and keep their vaccination status up to date, as a key tool to limit the spread of COVID-19 and keep everyone safe.
