What is Home Quarantine SA?
Home Quarantine SA is a mobile app, supported by SA Health and SA Police, that allows travellers to quarantine in their home. It will increase South Australia’s quarantine capacity and will provide a safe, sustainable and cost effective alternative to medi-hotel quarantine.
In the app, you will be able:
- view your expected quarantine completion date
- view your COVID-19 testing schedule and receive reminder notifications
- complete daily symptom checks
- complete randomised location check-ins using live face recognition
- access health and wellbeing support and resources.
Is Home Quarantine SA compulsory?
No. Home Quarantine SA is voluntary at this time. It provides a safe, sustainable and cost effective alternative to medi-hotel quarantine.
Does Home Quarantine SA track my location?
Home Quarantine SA records your location at each random check-in request to make sure you are at your approved address; you have 15 minutes to check in.
You must allow location services while the app is being used.
What happens if I miss a check-in?
If you miss one of the geolocation check-ins, you will receive a follow-up phone call from the Home Quarantine SA team to discuss why you missed your check-in. This call might come from a private number.
If you miss the notification and the phone call, a compliance officer may visit the approved address to check you are safe and compliant with your direction.
