Travel advice for Victoria
Victoria transitioned to a ‘medium risk’ jurisdiction on Friday following the latest health advice.
- You are not permitted to enter Western Australia without an exemption through a G2G PASS.
- If permitted entry, you must self-quarantine at a suitable premises for 14 days. If a suitable premises is not available, you will be directed to a government-approved quarantine facility at your own expense.
- Approved travellers are subject to a COVID-19 test within 48 hours of arrival and on day 11 of quarantine, or at any point when symptoms develop. A mask must be worn while travelling to and from a COVID Clinic.
- You must wear a mask from when you enter WA until you arrive at a suitable self-quarantine premises or government-approved quarantine facilities. In addition, if travelling by air, you must also wear a mask on the flight while in WA airspace and while inside the airport (with some exceptions – e.g. children under the age of 12 are not required to wear a mask).
- The G2G Now app enables virtual check-ins during your quarantine once you have entered WA. Travellers from medium risk jurisdictions are encouraged to download and use the app.
South Australia
WA Health has also issued advice for travellers who have recently returned from South Australia, after a public health alert was issued earlier this week.
Anyone who has visited exposure sites in South Australia is required to be tested within 48 hours, quarantine for 14 days and get tested again at day 11.
Tasmania
WA Health issued advice for travellers who have recently returned from Tasmania, after a public health alert was issued for parts of that state last week.
The Tasmanian Department of Health has released a list of sites that were visited by a person who tested positive for COVID-19 two days after they left the state and arrived in London.
While the risk to the Western Australian community is considered extremely low, anyone who has recently arrived into WA from Tasmania and has been to one of the exposure sites during the relevant times is required to get tested within 48 hours and then present for 11-day testing.
Border controls
Information about border controls is available online.
