All States have revised travel exemptions and quarantine requirements when travelling from COVID-19 affected regions. Updated information about border restrictions and travel permits for all States and Territories is available at the links below.

As COVID-19 restrictions ease in some locations, companies still need to manage infection risks. Businesses should regularly reassess their controls and apply caution as they ease them.

Hand washing and sanitising of work spaces and equipment remains extremely important as is encouraging workers to stay away from work if they are feeling unwell.
