From 11:59pm on Sunday 2 August 2020, all Victorians must wear a face covering when they leave home, no matter where they live.
There are a number of lawful excuses for not wearing a face covering.
Do I have to wear a face covering if I have asthma?
People with asthma or people who have a medical condition that includes problems with their breathing, do not have to wear face coverings.
I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing a face covering, do I need a medical certificate stating I don’t need to wear a face covering?
You do not need a medical certificate stating that you have a lawful reason for not wearing a face covering. If you have a lawful reason for not wearing a face covering, you do not need to apply for an exemption or permit.
If you are stopped by police, they will ask you to confirm the lawful reason you are not wearing a face covering.
