New Queensland border restrictions limit entry to Queensland from a COVID-19 hotspot, including all of Victoria, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

Exemptions to border restrictions now include Queensland and NSW farmers and agribusiness workers who need to:

  • Perform essential agribusiness services for the agriculture supply chain.
  • Conduct farming activities.
  • Provide timely veterinary services.
  • Provide care for livestock.

This new class exemption, approved by the Chief Health Officer, is available for one month. More details can be found at the Business Queensland website.

When you cross the border you will need to travel directly to or from the farm or premises without stopping.

You will also need to remain isolated from the general public at the agribusiness or farm until you return to Queensland, or if you’re entering from NSW, for 14 days or the duration of your work (whichever is shorter).
