Managing Bookings
It's not possible to predict when businesses can return to normal during this time. Many businesses, particularly accommodation providers will be struggling with decisions around cancelling current bookings or to accept future bookings. The decision to take or cancel bookings is up to the individual business and should be taken in accordance with any government restrictions that are in place at the time.
Businesses may wish to review their own booking conditions moving forward. Be sure to clearly communicate these conditions with any prospective guests at the time of enquiry and to make these conditions very clear within your digital and written communications. Booking conditions should reflect and be in compliance with current
Australian consumer law .
