Australian Capital Territories‘ borders are closed to travellers from Victoria. Residents are free to travel for holiday and recreation purposes. Tasmania is open to travellers from low-risk areas (NSW, Qld, ACT, SA, WA, NT and NZ). Travellers can register with Tas e-Travel and need not quarantine. Travel restrictions for residents inside Victoria have eased, but other states’ rules mean there are severe limits on travel from Victoria to anywhere else in Australia.

Travellers from other states and New Zealand can enter without restriction but must complete Cross Border Travel Registration.
