Attending an Event

Queensland Health has declared an Amber Traffic Light Level, and advises that masks are recommended indoors when it is not possible to socially distance. Government House advises visitors that it will likely be difficult to socially distance when entering the House, therefore you may wish to wear a face mask, though they are not mandatory. 

Please stay at home if you feel unwell. Please comply with the latest health advice issued by the Queensland Government.
