Today’s update to COVIDSafe delivers an improved registration process for users.
Since launch, the DTA – with the support of users and the tech community has made iterative
enhancements to the app focusing on performance, privacy and accessibility.
Update details
Improved registration process
We have included functionality improvements to make it easier for users to provide their name
(or pseudonym), age range and postcode. This information helps state and territory health
officials contact users who are identified as close contacts.
Users who experience delays in receiving text messages will also be supported to complete
registration. This release allows users to request and receive one PIN within a 5-minute timeout
window. This will assist users in areas with poor reception who would receive multiple PINs and
experience uncertainty about the correct one to enter.
Source code update and next release
We have updated the publicly available application source code in line with today’s release.
P
eople can provide direct feedback within the source code repository
(https://covidsafe.gov.au/app-code-terms-and-conditions.html).
We are currently working on the next update to the COVIDSafe app, which we plan to release
in a couple of weeks.
Visit the COVIDSafe website (https://covidsafe.gov.au/) for more information or to
access the application source code.
