New South Wales border:

Farmers and critical agriculture workers who reside outside the NSW border region can now access a new ‘Highly Specialised Critical Services (Agriculture)’ permit provided they:

  • Provide a highly specialised critical agricultural service.
  • Are moving and working anywhere within 100kms of the NSW/ Victorian border, on the NSW side.
  • Comply with strict conditions if staying overnight.
  • Adhere to other safety requirements, including self-isolating when not delivering the critical service.

Holders of this permit will be able to cross from Victoria into NSW without quarantining in Sydney. NSW has advised that this change has come into effect and the new permits will be available via the Service NSW website.

South Australia – Victoria border:

From 12:01am Friday 21 August 2020, cross border community members who ordinarily reside in South Australia at, or near a SA border will not be able to enter SA from Victoria unless they can apply under a different category of ‘Essential Traveller’.
The SA government has recently published further FAQs, cheat sheets and fact sheets on the SA border restrictions.
