In accordance with health guidelines, Lux Australis requires transaction payments to be completed using contactless payments. Cash payments will not be accepted for some or all transactions.

You must not attend any Event if you are required to be in isolation with a COVID-19 diagnosis or have been directed to be in quarantine because of close contact with a person with COVID-19, are awaiting COVID-19 test results, or if you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19.

You acknowledge that we may disclose contact tracing information to health authorities or as otherwise required or authorised by law. You acknowledge that we may retain the information for 28 days (or a longer period as required by law), after which time it will be deleted or destroyed. While we hold the information, we will take all reasonable steps to keep your contact tracing information secure and free from unauthorised access or use without limitation to clauses 5.11, 6.1 and 6.2 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale, you and your booking party may be refused entry or required to leave a Lux
