It seems that the Victorian Government is enticing / forcing / mandating persons to download an app for the purposes of contract tracing, in direct conflict with federal law.
While the federal law Section 94H of the Privacy Act 1988 or the Privacy Amendment (Public Health Contact Information) Act 2020 mentions a specific app, the purpose of that app/program is for contact tracing.
Since this information is on the government's website, and not in any 'Act' this requirement or 'suggestion' can be ignored.
See federal legislation:
