Supporting Government QR Code check-in

2

Early on in the pandemic (Aug 2020), we rolled out a Woolworths QR Code Contact Tracing system to support Government’s contact tracing efforts. This involved considerable investment across our business.

Working closely with state Governments and relevant agencies across all jurisdictions, Woolworths started transitioning to Government QR Codes from mid December 2020.

Promoting Compliance in storeWe have made a significant investment in store to promote customer check in and make it as easy as possible for them to do so.

Our marketing campaign aims to help create awareness for all Australians on the requirement to check-in via a Government QR Code. In only approximately 2 weeks, Woolworths has invested over $1.5M in ATL and in store support. Above store – All Australians• Press – Full Page Commercial.• Street Presence – Out of home billboards

and bus shelters (3 week burst).• Social Media – In feed and stories

(see below artwork).• Radio – Strongly Encouraged and

Mandatory – designed to grab the attention of listeners by starting the advertisement with what sounds like a roadie doing a sound check (ie; Check, Check 1..2, Check, Check Q...R Code...Check…. etc).

For customers that did not have a smartphone, access to the required State/Territory App, or who required assistance, we followed Government guidelines and supplied paper check-in solutions.

Kiosk and assisted check-in – supporting all Australians

Listening to customer feedback around privacy concerns, and to ensure contact tracers have access to the required check-in data in a timely manner, our Technology Solutions team have been working to enable kiosk solutions across all jurisdictions on in-store devices. Most States and Territories use different technical solutions, and building these solutions has required considerable investment. We have successfully launched the kiosk solutions in QLD, VIC, NSW and ACT. We anticipate a solution will be finalised for all other jurisdictions by the end of July.

As each State/Territory transitions to Mandatory QR Code check in, we have reinstated our Health and Safety Ambassadors roles at the front of the store for 14 days to assist customers with the transition. Our learnings from other states has been that customer behaviour generally changes within 2 weeks – for those customers who want to check in. We continue to experience a number of customers who do not want to check in or wear a mask, and this situation can easily escalate.
