Are you sure? Isn't https://greencheck.gv.at/ a tool for private nightclubs, event managers, hospitality and so on to check the "grĂ¼ner Pass" QR-Code certificate of their guests in Austria for accordance with their 3G rules (Genesen (recovered), Geimpft (vacinated), Getested (tested))? Am I missing something there?

In slovenia, clubs/restaurants/etc. are not allowed to check any vaccination/test/recovered data (you still need to be one of those, they can ask if you are, but are not allowed to verify).

Only health inspectors can do so, and they do random checks. Honestly, I don't know how this will end, because people are really fed up with this situation and all the lies from the government, and a club full of drunk people vs a few inspectors won't end well.

I'm from Slovenia as well and get asked to show my ID and vaccination slip regularly.

If I understand correctly, one of the pandemic laws requires them to verify, but the Information Commissioner's Office has countered that with one of their classic "well yes, but actually no" opinions saying that they're not actually allowed to demand that kind of information. What "demand" means here, of course, doesn't seem to be defined well, so I'm guessing they're still allowed to refuse service if you don't show them some proof.

Or maybe all of that has changed in the 20h since I was last at a bar - the speed at which the current government is making seemingly entirely random changes to the covid rules is genuinely impressive.

That's interesting, but I guess it needs some legal support at the Austrian level, because the regulation doesn't prescribe those uses for the certificate.
There is a law in Austria for this.
