Just weeks after most interstate border restrictions in Australia had lifted, a new coronavirus outbreak again cast doubt over many people’s travel plans.

The latest cases in Victoria, New South Wales and Brisbane have prompted travel restrictions in other states and territories, and each jurisdiction has its own set of rules.

So where can you travel to now? Here’s a rough guide of where things stand around Australia.

Bear in mind that things are changing rapidly in light of the highly infectious UK strain of coronavirus detected in a recent Brisbane case.

Anyone who has been in the Greater Brisbane area since January 2 is being asked to quarantine.

This story is no longer being updated. For the latest travel advice you should check state government websites.

Victoria

Where can I travel?

Western Australia has shut its border to all of Victoria, unless you have an exemption. You need to apply through G2G PASS to get one.

Tasmania has shut its borders to anyone who has been to a high-risk exposure site in Victoria, unless you’re approved as an essential traveller.

Anyone going to Tasmania needs to register through the Tas e-Travel system no more than three days before arriving.

The NT’s borders are open to Victoria, but you need to fill in a Border Entry Form.

South Australia’s borders are also open to Victoria, and you need to complete a Cross Border Travel Registration form at least seven days before you leave.

You can also go to Queensland, but if you’ve been anywhere in Victoria in the past 14 days, you need to get tested once you get to your destination in Queensland and quarantine at home until you get a result. You don’t need to apply for a pass, but the Victorian Government has also asked Victorians to reconsider any planned travel to Queensland.

New South Wales and the ACT are open to Victoria and don’t require permits to enter.

Can I travel to Victoria?

Victoria has shut its border to both the Greater Brisbane area as well as New South Wales, so if you haven’t been to either in the past 14 days, you’re free to enter.

Advice was issued late on Friday that Victoria was closing its border to the new Greater Brisbane “red zone”, which includes the Brisbane City Council, Redland City Council, Ipswich City Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council and Logan City Council areas.

People who have already arrived in Victoria from the area need to get tested and isolate until at least 6:00pm Monday.

If you are travelling from anywhere in New South Wales, you cannot enter Victoria without a Border Entry Permit or an exemption, even if you live in Victoria.

You can apply for a permit online if you are transiting through New South Wales from another state or territory, if you’re a permitted services worker, or just briefly passing through Victoria.

For all other reasons to enter from NSW, you need to apply for an exemption, which will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Residents in a dedicated border zone don’t need to apply for permits, and can cross the land border using a driver’s license.

The transit permit doesn’t allow overnight stays in New South Wales, so if you need to break up your journey, you need to apply for an exemption instead.

For more information on the coronavirus restrictions in Victoria, visit the Victorian Government website.

New South Wales

Where can I travel?

All states and territories have some kind of border restrictions in place with New South Wales.

Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia have closed their borders to anyone who has been in New South Wales in the past 14 days, and you cannot enter those states without an exemption.

To apply for an exemption you can use Victoria’s Border Entry Permit form, Western Australia’s G2G PASS, and South Australia’s Cross Border Travel Registration form.

However, if you live in a local government area that borders Victoria, you can use your driver’s licence to cross the land border.

And people from within 100km of the SA-NSW border can come into SA as long as they have had a COVID–19 test within the past seven days.

To go to the NT, you need to fill in a Border Entry Form. If you’ve been in a declared hotspot in Sydney, you will need to quarantine.

You can’t go to Tasmania if you’re coming from or have been in Sydney’s northern beaches since December 11.

If you’ve been in other parts of Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains or Wollongong, you can enter Tasmania but need to do 14 days of quarantine at a residential address or other suitable place.

All other parts of New South Wales are considered low risk and welcome to enter Tasmania.

The ACT has restrictions on Greater Sydney, the Northern Beaches, the Central Coast, and Wollongong.

If you’re a NSW resident coming from a COVID-affected area of NSW, you should not enter the ACT without an exemption. If you’re an ACT resident, you need to complete an online declaration.

If you want to go to Queensland, and you have been in New South Wales at any point since December 11, you will need to apply for a Queensland Border Declaration Pass before you enter.

If, in the past 14 days, you have been to a specific part of New South Wales that’s considered a COVID hotspot, you will not be able to enter Queensland without an exemption.

Can I travel to NSW?

New South Wales has new rules that apply to anyone who has been in the Greater Brisbane region since January 2.

If you’re travelling to New South Wales by any mode of transport, you must go directly to your home or accommodation and isolate until 6:00pm AEDT on Monday.

If you’ve already arrived in New South Wales since January 2, you must quarantine until 6:00pm AEDT on January 11.

Anyone flying to New South Wales from Queensland must complete a self-declaration form stating their name, address, where they stayed in Queensland, and dates of arrival and departure.

Otherwise, NSW’s borders are open. You don’t need a permit to enter.

If you live in the border zone with Victoria, you need a valid driver’s license to cross between the states.

Queensland

Where can I travel?

Several states and territories are seeking urgent public health advice after the highly contagious UK coronavirus strain was detected in Brisbane.

Anyone who has been in the Greater Brisbane area since January 2 has been told to quarantine no matter where they have travelled since.

So many of these rules may change.

Western Australia

Western Australia will reinstate its hard border with Queensland from midnight Friday.

From then you will only be able to enter the state if you have an exemption, which you can apply for through G2G PASS.

The Northern Territory Government has declared the Greater Brisbane region a COVID-19 hotspot.

Anyone arriving in the Territory from those areas will have to enter a mandatory-two week quarantine, Chief Minister Michael Gunner said.

Victoria

Victoria’s latest advice says if you’ve been in Greater Brisbane since January 2, the borders are closed to you.

If you’ve returned from the area since then, you should get tested and isolate until at least Monday.

If you’re driving from Queensland to Victoria and will be going through New South Wales, you need a Border Entry Permit to enter. The permit does not allow overnight stops though, so you’ll need to apply for an exemption if you want to break up your trip.

Victoria is still working on how the developments in Brisbane will affect its permit system and says more information will be available soon.

New South Wales

Anyone flying from Queensland to New South Wales must now complete a self-declaration form.

If you’re travelling to New South Wales, and have been in Greater Brisbane since January 2, you will need to go directly to your home or accommodation and isolate until 6:00pm Monday.

More of NSW’s advice can be found here.

Queensland’s border is open to everyone, except those travelling from some parts of NSW.

If you have been in New South Wales at any point since December 11, you will need to apply for a Queensland Border Declaration Pass before you enter Queensland.

If, in the past 14 days, you have been to a COVID hotspot, you will not be able to enter Queensland without an exemption.

You can view Queensland’s map of COVID hotspots online.

Can I travel to Tasmania?

If you’ve been in a “high-risk” place in Victoria or New South Wales during a certain time, you’re not allowed to enter unless you’re approved as an essential traveller.

Greater Brisbane was added to the list of “high risk” settings by the Tasmanian Government on Friday.

In NSW the entire Sydney northern beaches council area is considered to be high risk from any time from December 11.

Victoria’s list includes specific venues during high-risk exposure periods, rather than large areas, so it’s worth checking the list before you head to Tasmania.

If you’re travelling from a “medium risk” area —Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Wollongong — you can enter Tasmania, but will need to quarantine for 14 days.

Everywhere else is considered low risk, and is free to enter Tasmania without quarantining.

You need to register through the Tas e-Travel system no more than three days before arriving.
