NSW Health announced on Thursday, October 21, restrictions on entry for Victorians — requiring 14 days under stay-at-home orders — would remain until 12.01am on Monday, November 1.
From then, this requirement would be lifted but only for those who were fully vaccinated.
However, people who are not vaccinated and have been in Victoria in the previous 14 days won’t be able to enter NSW for holiday or recreation, but exemptions will be in place for border community residents.
On Friday, the ACT also announced quarantine-free travel for fully vaccinated people from Victoria from November 1.
The Victorian Government opened up entry for fully vaccinated people in NSW earlier in the week.
All of regional NSW is now considered a “green zone” under Victoria’s travel permit system and the changes, as of October 20, mean there are no more red zones in NSW, with all local government areas in the Greater Sydney area, including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Shellharbour and Wollongong, now orange zones.
Fully vaccinated people are permitted to enter Victoria from red zones with only a negative COVID-19 test required rather than 14 days of home quarantine.
There are no requirements for people travelling to Victoria from orange zones or green zones, except to have a valid travel permit, which can be applied for at service.vic.gov.au
