UPDATED: ✈️ Want to travel overseas but not sure about the rules?
Fully vaccinated citizens and permanent residents (and their immediate family) can now fly into NSW without having to quarantine:
• You need to be double vaccinated with a recognised COVID-19 vaccine, or be accompanied by someone 18+ who has if you’re under 12 years old
• If you meet the vaccination and the Australian Government pre-departure testing requirements you can leave the airport as normal
• Within 24 hours of arriving in NSW, you must have a COVID-19 nose and throat PCR test.
• Get another test on or after day 7 after arriving in NSW. You don’t have to isolate while waiting for your results, unless you have symptoms. Until you get a negative result from your day 7 test you can’t go to any high-risk settings such as aged care, disability care, healthcare and correctional facilities. Different rules apply to children under 12 who are unvaccinated.
• If you develop any symptoms of COVID-19 at any time while in NSW, you must immediately get tested for COVID-19 and isolate until you receive a negative result.
