Introduction.

An unregistered vehicle permit (UVP) allows you to drive an unregistered vehicle for a specific journey. It is only valid for the time required to complete that journey by the most direct route.

Note: If you're an overseas or interstate visitor, you need to visit a Service NSW Centre before you apply for the UVP, so you can be issued a customer number. Take your proof of identity documents with you when you visit the service centre.

Nsw covid update: nsw travel permit system now live and stay at home orders extended to 10 september for regional nsw, latest news.

What you need to know

• In addition to receiving one vaccine dose (by 30 Aug), from 28 August disability workers leaving or entering an LGA of concern will require a workers permit
• Requirements for workers leaving Greater Sydney remain the same
• Stay at home orders for regional NSW extended until 10 September

From 12.01am Saturday 28 August, workers entering or leaving LGA’s of concern will require a permit .

Permits are required in the following work related situations:

• An authorised worker living in a local government area (LGA) of concern needing to leave the area for work. This includes travelling to another LGA of concern (also known as a 'workers permit’).
• Entering an LGA of concern for work (also known as a ‘workers permit’).
• An authorised worker from a non-area of concern needing to travel more than 50km outside of Greater Sydney (not including the Central Coast or Shellharbour) for work, and the work cannot be done from home.

NDS has confirmed with NSW Health that providing addresses of participants would not be breaching confidentiality as workers are complying with a Public Health Order. Participant names are not required as part of the permit application process.

We are working with Service NSW to identify a more streamlined process for those workers who attend multiple locations for work on one day or across the two week period.

Workers must carry their workers permit with them at all times along with supporting documents. This can include:

• The employer’s and worker’s details
• The work being done why travel is necessary
• The hours of work – for example, 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. NDS members can provide staff with a copy of their roster to support this requirement
• The dates over which the work will be carried out

Workers will also need to carry proof that they have met any testing or COVID-19 vaccination requirements that apply.

Vaccination Requirements

The most recent Public Health Order requires relevant care workers living or working in an LGA of concern to have at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by 30 August. Workers who have a medical exemption must carry a NSW Health exemption form [PDF] completed by their treating practitioner.

Relevant care workers include:

• Any worker ‘providing disability and support services in person to persons with a disability’ under the NDIS
• Workers providing similar types of services in person to people with disability are also included even if these supports are not funded under the NDIS
• Workers providing assisted school transport funded by NSW Education

Obtaining a vaccination

NSW Health has established priority Pfizer vaccination appointments at the Sydney Olympic Park Qudos Bank Arena Vaccination Centre to support eligible workers to meet the new requirements.

Workers aged 16-39 who live in or work in areas of concern can continue to access priority vaccines .

Vaccines can also be booked through the Australian Department of Health eligibility checker or by calling the National Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 020 080.

In addition, Commonwealth vaccination teams are providing Pfizer vaccinations to residents and staff either at group homes or in vaccination hubs located at disability provider locations.

Vaccination information for people with an intellectual disability

The Department of Health are hosting an information session for people with an intellectual disability and their families and carers on 1st September.

NSW COVID-19 lockdown laws tightened, restricting travel from Greater Sydney after crisis Cabinet meeting

Greater Sydney residents will need a permit to leave the region, under a swathe of new rules to tighten the state's lockdown laws.

Key points:

• Under new rules, people from Greater Sydney can't travel to their holiday home
• Anyone who needs to isolate while awaiting COVID test results will receive a $320 payment
• Some people in singles bubbles will need to register the name of their buddy

The new rules were agreed upon during a crisis meeting of the NSW Cabinet on Friday afternoon, and also include a restriction on people using their holiday homes.

Under that rule, people from Greater Sydney are not allowed to travel to their second homes, except under special circumstances, such as maintenance, and only one person will be able to attend.

From Monday, anyone who needs to isolate while awaiting COVID-19 test results will receive a special $320 payment.

The Victorian government introduced a similar $450 payment during its second-wave lockdown last year to discourage people from working while waiting on test results.

Tightened restrictions now also apply to people in Greater Sydney's 12 local government areas of concern (Bayside, Blacktown, Burwood, Campbelltown, Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Fairfield, Georges River, Liverpool, Parramatta, Strathfield, and parts of Penrith).

People in those areas who are taking part in a singles bubble will need to register the name of their single buddy.

The nominated pair must also live within five kilometres of each other.

Residents in those areas are only allowed to leave their LGA for essential work. 

Unions NSW Secretary Mark Morey said the introduction of a test-and-isolate payment for workers was a "welcome, if overdue" decision by the government.

"While the $320 payment is less generous and more limited than the Victorian policy, it is nonetheless progress," Mr Morey said.

"The link between economic security and health outcomes is crystal clear. When workers face a financial penalty to test or get vaccinated, it gives the virus more chance to spread.

"No worker should have to chose between putting food on the table or getting tested for COVID."

He repeated calls for vaccination leave for all Australian workers.

NSW recorded 390 new COVID-19 cases on Friday — the highest daily number since the pandemic began.

Cases have cropped up in regional areas, prompting tighter lockdowns in the Hunter and New England regions, the North Coast, and in western NSW.

Other states continue to express concerns over cases of the highly infectious Delta variant leaking across borders .

The outbreak has placed NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian under increasing pressure to implement a "ring of steel" around Sydney.

Last week she rejected calls to ring-fence the Harbour City, telling reporters the virus would still manage to find a way out.

"Unless you have literally a police officer outside every single household … a ring of steel does not prevent Delta from seeping out," she said.

Speaking after the National Cabinet meeting on Friday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison stopped short of supporting a ring of steel around Sydney but said the lockdown would only be effective if people complied.

"The lockdown is important, the lockdown is lifted when the lockdown works, and that is why it is so important to people, right across Sydney, to be complying with that lockdown," he said.

"You know, we saw the cases, up in northern New South Wales, where someone just doesn't comply. Look at the damage that causes.

"We've got to do the right thing by each other. We've got to do the right thing by our neighbours, our communities, our city, our country.

"You can do that by following the rules, staying at home, getting vaccinated and getting tested."

NSW has administered 4.8 million vaccine doses, almost 30,000 of them in the 24 hours to 8:00pm Thursday.

Ms Berejiklian said the state was on track to deliver 6 million jabs in arms by August 28.

Permits for travel to regional NSW

A permit system for some travel between Greater Sydney and regional NSW will take effect from 12.01am on Saturday 21 August.

Under the updated public health order, the following people traveling from Greater Sydney to regional NSW require a permit:

• anyone from Greater Sydney (including authorised workers from the LGAs of concern) who needs to travel more than 50km from Greater Sydney for work purposes, noting the existing requirement for such workers to have had a COVID test in the previous seven days;
• people travelling to a second home outside Greater Sydney. This is now only allowed if you are using the home for work accommodation or if the home requires urgent maintenance and repairs (if so, only one person may travel there);
• people inspecting a potential new residence, but only if they have a genuine intention to relocate as soon as practicable (no investment properties); and
• people who are permanently relocating.

For the purposes of this public health order and permit, Greater Sydney will no longer include Shellharbour and the Central Coast. People travelling to Shellharbour and the Central Coast for the above reasons will require a permit to do so.

Taking a holiday to a second residence is not a reasonable excuse to leave home.

Permit applications will be made available on the Service NSW website.

People are permitted to leave their homes to facilitate custody arrangements for access to, and contact between, parents and children under the age of 18 who do not live in the same household.

Due to ongoing concerns about community transmission in some regional areas, stay‑at-home orders in place for regional NSW have been extended until 12.01am on 28 August 2021, in line with orders for the Greater Sydney area.

Everyone must stay at home unless they have a reasonable excuse to leave. They cannot have any visitors in their home from outside their household.

NSW Health urges people to continue to be tested immediately with even the mildest of cold-like symptoms. There are more than 450 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest testing clinic, visit our  website

Special rules remain in place for the  local government areas of concern  in Greater Sydney.
