COVID-19 SAFETY ON SITE

Bushtime will only go ahead if continues to be safe to do so. If the directions from Qld Health change and we cannot proceed, we will immediately cancel the event and refund all ticket and workshop purchases in full. If people are unable to attend the event due to illness or Covid testing, we will refund your tickets/workshops in full.

To ensure the safety of all our patrons, volunteers, organisers and performers we are adhering to approved COVID safe regulations at Bushtime.  

Woodfordia Inc will be operating under an approved site specific COVID safe plan.  

Border Pass Information for Interstate Visitors here.

Pre-event: If a patron becomes symptomatic in the weeks leading up to the event, a full refund will be offered. If a patron becomes symptomatic during their first day at Bushtime, they will be entitled to a full refund. If a patron arrives at the gate to check-in and has been identified as symptomatic at that time, a full refund will be offered.

During event: If a patron becomes symptomatic from the second day of the event, they will present to a medical professional immediately on-site, leave the event and take a COVID test. A full refund of their ticket will be offered.

Refunds are not made if you change your mind or if you are unable to attend the event, unless for a valid medical reason (COVID-19).
